We’re scrambling to get ready for the Alps!

In addition to some changes to the look and feel designed to make the viewing and reading experience a little better, we are busy building new landing pages for each of our hikes pages with all the details in one concise summary! The landing pages will still link back to the blog posts.

You can view our first one, for the GSMNP’s popular Alum Cave Trail to Mt. Leconte, here.

Meanwhile, Brian’s fully loaded Tour Du Mount Blanc day pack has been assembled for testing. I haven’t weighed it yet (packs are sensitive about their weight after all.)

Tomorrow’s itinerary will likely be another shake out hike…somewhere nearby. It figures to be ‘only’ 85 degrees out.

Check back soon for an update on that hike, or a brief walk through of how not to avoid heat stroke…plus PLENTY  more new hiking pages!
