- In-and-Out of Alaska | North #3
Sep 28, 2026 · original
We were already halfway through our day, so we hoped to make quick work of the pavement between Terrace, British Columbia and Hyder, Alaska. We would be in the 49th state for only a few minutes - our actual destination was back in maple leaf territory - but it'd be the first time either of us had ever been to the largest state in the Union, so we were both looking forward to the opportunity to visit. First though, we had to get there. And getting there on BC-113 turned out to be more eventful than we'd bargained for! Right… - Telkwa Pass One | North #2
Sep 23, 2026 · original
We started from what was, essentially, the furthest north we'd ever been in British Columbia, and it still took us 10 more hours to reach the trailhead for Telkwa Pass. Having left our camp below Perkins Peak a bit before noon, it was dark as we positioned the Tacoma along the banks of the Telkwa River and at the terminus of a dead-end road. We were half a day behind schedule, and while that wouldn't normally be a problem, we'd been shooting for a reasonably small weather window when we'd planned our journey along what was rumored to be one… - Who Knew: Hiking Shoes Make a Difference (Altra Olympus 275)
Sep 23, 2026 · original
TL;DR - I've always just worn my "current old pair" of tennis shoes when I'm out hiking because I never liked hiking boots. They get beat up quickly on desert trails, and so I finally bought some purpose-designed hiking shoes. Wow, what a difference! Like they were built to hike! When I started adventuring more than a decade ago, it was mostly about driving around in the Tacoma, checking out cool places and pushing my truck (and my nerves) over semi-gnarly - because let's be honest, I thought it was extreme at the time - terrain. But as time passed,… - Hiking Poles: Black Diamond Distance Z Carbon Fiber
Sep 23, 2026 · original
TL;DR - Hiking poles are really helpful and make hiking easier. They work even if you already know how to walk! I've never thought I needed hiking poles because I know how to walk and I don't have any trouble doing it. Still, when I was out with Matt @theesotericone on our attempt at the summit of Mt. Tom, he had a set of poles and ended up lending me one to make some hiking on the unforgiving terrain just a little bit easier. And boy, I was shocked at how much easier it was to hike - even with… - Return to the Pantheons | North #1
Sep 20, 2026 · original
2026 in the Pacific Northwest has been a summer of smoke. With fires raging in eastern Washington, all of Oregon, and much of southern British Columbia, all the places we usually enjoy exploring during the summer have suddenly become... unpleasant. In fact, while we'd previously thought that a beginning-of-July timeframe for the Montana BDR was too early, it's now looking like the smartest move we could have made. And our escape to Bella Coola for a few days - while a little hazy from fire - turned out to be genius. And so, itching to explore - while being able… - Gear Roundup | What I Take With Me On Trips (2026 edition)
Sep 17, 2026 · original
July 31, 2026. It's been a couple years since my last Gear Roundup. I can make all sorts of excuses for the long delay - the Tacoma living in Las Vegas during the winter, an overall setup that works so well that there haven't been many changes, the fact that we're spending more time on trips - but we all know the real reason: laziness. Still, I think it's important to take stock now and then, both to ensure that I'm purposeful about how we're camping and to share my experience on what works and what doesn't, for those who… - Rain Forest Rock Art | Bella Coola #5
Sep 14, 2026 · original
While on our last trip to British Columbia, we happened to stumble upon a few petroglyphs, created by the First Nations, hundreds or thousands of years ago. They were so different than those that we've seen in the lower 48, and reminded me a bit of the style that found in Hawaii. Upon returning home though, I think it may have been the surfaces - ground-level rocks with petroglyphs on various faces - more than the actual figures, that seemed similar. We arrived at the stie on our way from one place to another. Getting there meant an enjoyable, short… - Magnificent Mining Roads | Bella Coola #4
Sep 10, 2026 · original
Bella Coola is not the most accessible town in British Columbia. Our ten-hour ferry ride aside, there are - technically - roads that lead to this stunning valley, but that hasn't always been the case. Before the road, the only way in or out of the Valley was by boat, seaplane, foot, or horseback. A trip from Anahim Lake for supplies took three days and nights. Residents kept asking for a road, but the government said the grade was too steep. A road would be too expensive. It couldn't be done. On September 14, 1952, the Bella Coola Board of… - Above the Clouds at Blue Jay Lake | Bella Coola #3
Sep 6, 2026 · original
After returning from Purgatory - not a statement one can make on a regular basis - it was time to consider our next move. There were three things that were competing for our attention: The weather. We'd been planning to spend at least three nights in the area, but in the week preceding our departure, the weather guessers suggested that four days of rain would start somewhere in the middle of our visit. Rain wouldn't be the end of the world - dark skies can make for some dramatic photos - but we wanted to get as many "big views"… - The Inescapable Bugs of Purgatory | Bella Coola #2
Sep 2, 2026 · original
We were both tired and stir-crazy when we finally got to Bella Coola, a full thirty-one hours after leaving home. The plan - given that it was already 6:30pm by the time we disembarked - was to head up a nearby Forest Service Road (FSR) to find camp. But then, as I maneuvered the Tacoma into position for a final shot of the Northern Sea Wolf, another truck - fresh off the same boat - headed up the same road! This immediately gave us pause - we're not generally keen to share the end of the road with other folks…
