Kalalau Trail / Hanakapi'ai Falls June 4, 2024

	Lane I like this shot...it nicely captures in one still what the hike up to the waterfall was all about. #1209Dec 16th, 2024 1:26 PM

Lane There was this random black cat running around the area...looking for food I think. Not sure if it's a permanent resident or not. #1208Dec 16th, 2024 1:24 PM

	Lane Worse still. #1207Dec 16th, 2024 1:23 PM

Lane Not my best composition job. Haha. #1206Dec 16th, 2024 1:23 PM

	Lane This waterfall and area really was amazing...made slightly less amazing, however, by the hordes of instagram idiots trying to get a pic...to...convince people their life is better than it really is? I don't know. #1205Dec 16th, 2024 1:22 PM

Lane When I went to Maui I thought I'd never been in a bamboo forest before, but since I did this same route in 2002, clearly I had been. :) #1204Dec 16th, 2024 1:18 PM

	Lane Since I'd done this route before I wanted to continue along the coastal trail for the entire length...but that permit is very hard to get, you have to apply months and months in advance. So inland toward the awesome waterfall I went! #1203Dec 16th, 2024 10:58 AM

Lane The last time I did this trail it was in the winter and this beach did not exist...it was just ocean all the way up to the rocks. The difference between summer and winter, I guess. #1202Dec 16th, 2024 10:56 AM

	Lane Such a lush, beautiful place. I can see why it's hard tog get a permit to hike here, especially for the whole length of the trail. #1201Dec 16th, 2024 10:55 AM

	SmirF So many gorgeous pics and EPIC adventures! #1199Aug 21st, 2024 10:33 PM Lane Thanks, SmirF. All the credit goes to mother nature...I just pressed the shutter button. :) #1200Aug 29th, 2024 2:51 PM

Buckley's Mine April 6, 2013

Rod Been all over in this mine. Never did rope drop anywhere in it, but explored some cool different sections. Is it still a gate, or is it now concrete? It can be dangerous if you're not careful. We went up the ladder and ended up coming out the upper entrance, then on up to the top of the peak.

#1197Aug 1st, 2024 4:22 PM

Lane Hey Rod. I'm not actually sure of the current state of the entrances. I haven't been back since we did this 11 years ago. It wouldn't surprise me if they'd sealed it up with concrete, though.

Waimea Canyon / Waipo'o Falls June 3, 2024

	Lane This rooster took a liking to Alisa and followed us like a lost puppy for basically the entire hike. She named it "Bruce". :) #1196Jun 20th, 2024 4:48 PM

San Rafael River Packraft May 27, 2023

	MIke "San Juan...err...San Rafael River..." :) #1193May 30th, 2023 9:48 AM Lane Oops! One a them "San" rivers, at any rate. :) #1195May 30th, 2023 4:38 PM

Mike Lane almost gave Mike a heart attack by going "cross country race mode". *Wheez wheez!" #1194May 30th, 2023 9:49 AM

	Mike This parking area had 2-3 times as many cars when we came back to pick up Blubaru! Popular weekend for this float. Luckily, we rarely crossed paths with other boaters. #1192May 30th, 2023 9:47 AM

	Jared Is this on the Road to Hana? #1188Jan 7th, 2023 2:34 PM Lane Correct. #1190Jan 13th, 2023 2:23 PM

Jared Hey Lane! Enjoying perusing your Maui photos. We love Napili Bay! #1187Jan 6th, 2023 2:17 PM Lane Thanks! I saw your message and started perusing them again myself. Can't believe it's been over 5 years. I need to get back to Hawaii. :) #1189Jan 13th, 2023 2:07 PM

Parunuweap Canyon - The Barracks May 4-7, 2022

	Lane Finally back to the "Blubaru" and the end of the route. We were happy to see all was in order (as was Dave's truck back at the start). Great trip! #1186May 9th, 2022 1:24 PM

Lane Making our way cross-country back to Highway 9 in Zion near Checkerboard Mesa where Mike's car was parked. #1185May 9th, 2022 1:23 PM

	Lane There were a few class IV moves on this initial ascent, which was a little tricky with large packs. Fortunately we all made it w/o incident. #1184May 9th, 2022 1:22 PM

Lane Partway up the steep ascent that escapes the canyon. Not sure why this shot is blurry, but you can see our previous night's campsite down by the river. #1183May 9th, 2022 1:21 PM

	Lane We took advantage of our 1-man tents' small footprints and camped on this small bank right across from the canyon exit. #1182May 9th, 2022 1:20 PM

Lane Every bit as spectacular as the Narrows in this section, I thought. #1181May 9th, 2022 1:19 PM

	Lane As we got closer to the end of our route in Parunuweap (where we exited the canyon) it started to become more and more deep/dramatic and resemble its cousin the Zion Narrows. #1180May 9th, 2022 1:19 PM

Lane The sneaker route (on the right) looking back after-the-fact. #1179May 9th, 2022 1:18 PM

	Lane The waterfall looking back up after we'd finished the sneaker route. It was gnarlier than this pic suggests, I would say. #1178May 9th, 2022 1:16 PM

Lane It was kind of an arduous affair, but we were happy to have the option as hiking all the way back UP to the car would not have been fun, to say the least. #1177May 9th, 2022 1:15 PM

	Lane The first drop had an existing rope there to help with the downclimb. #1176May 9th, 2022 1:14 PM

Lane Once you've climbed up, you then have to enter the small opening and descend a series of drops...handing off backpacks and trekking poles as you go. #1175May 9th, 2022 1:13 PM

	Lane This video was supposed to be landscape orientation, but I guess I had my phone angled weird when I started it. anyway, this shows the logjam waterfall crux, and why we not able/willing to downclimb it. We took the sneaker route up and to the left, instead. #1174May 9th, 2022 1:12 PM

Lane As we rounded the corner and came across this nasty log jam, we knew the crux of the route was getting close. #1173May 9th, 2022 1:10 PM

	Lane As we neared the end of our route in Parunuweap, the river started getting deeper and swifter. This was actually a short "swimmer". #1172May 9th, 2022 1:09 PM

Lane Some really cool lighting in Poverty. #1171May 9th, 2022 1:08 PM

	Lane Poverty Wash, probably my favorite side canyon that we visited. It ends at "The Grotto", seen in this video. Kind of a dumb name for such a cool canyon. #1170May 9th, 2022 1:08 PM

Lane The little frog above was chilling under that...flap of mud? and peaked out from under it like it was a trap door or something. #1169May 9th, 2022 1:06 PM

	Lane This was just an awesome spring we stumbled upon...shooting right out of the canyon wall and easy to refill our bottle with. It tasted great, too! #1168May 9th, 2022 1:03 PM

Lane This is our 2nd campsite, and probably the nicest site we had this trip. The picture doesn't really do it justice, but it was large, shaded, big cool rock formation above, next to the river. Sweet site! #1167May 9th, 2022 1:02 PM

	Lane This little guy was not as shy as most lizards I've encountered and actually let me get relatively close for a decent shot. #1166May 9th, 2022 1:00 PM

Lane This is Rock Canyon, a very lush and green side canyon. Super pretty. #1165May 9th, 2022 1:00 PM

	Lane We found this outstanding panel of petroglyphs close to where we camped the 2nd night. #1164May 9th, 2022 12:59 PM

Lane Mineral Gulch had a similar height and width to Antelope Canyon, so you'd get these super bright spots on the ground where the sunlight snuck through. I had Dave and Mike trying throwing up some sand to see if we could get a light cone. Not QUITE as nice as in Antelope, but still a cool effect. #1163May 9th, 2022 12:58 PM

	Lane I believe this was Mineral Gulch, a side canyon that had some really nice narrows. Until you get to the dramatic portion of the main canyon at the end, the real gems of this route are the side canyons. #1162May 9th, 2022 12:56 PM

Lane Unlike Orderville, which is dry for several miles before water appears, we were in a pretty good flow right from the get go. #1161May 9th, 2022 12:55 PM

	Lane I can't find my backpacking phone tripod...so the trailhead shot had to be "selfie" style. :) #1160May 9th, 2022 12:54 PM
