Went on a 7 mile ruck yesterday
>>2751550is this also eastern us? what all are you finding?i'm trying to find chanterelles around me for the first time but i thought it was still a bit early
Pop up thunderstorm ruined my plans for an evening hike FUCK. Guess I’ll try early tomorrow

>>2751133Started SOBO on the long trail today. Pretty rainy and brutally humid. I'll check in and post pics every once in a while if there's interest.
>>2753883hmm is that old growth?australia?
>>2751133>mfw i can hear this pictureOut west has more epic mountains and sweeping views but by god do I miss appalachia some times
>>2753934an old pic
>>2753934This waterfall was hell to get to. The shortest way involved a road that rapidly degraded from paved to dirt to big-rutted rocky wide ATV trail, had to turn around, go the other way, which was paved until the last 3/4 mile, then rough dirt road again, then when I got there there were TWO large groups there with kids making tons of noise and I eventually had to ask the kids swimming in the falls to move so I could get a photo.
>>2753934Fellow Appalachian who got dragged out west (I’m going to presume it was for job or family because it was family for me) it feels bad man. I haven’t really gone out being out here because I’m in the SW and I just don’t appreciate the desert that much
>>2753969the desert's a beautiful place but in a harsh way.love the desert sunsets and evenings, there is nothing quite like it. But i really hate going /out/ in the middle of the day with no shadeBack in appalachia I could hike without sunscreen because of all the trees and shade, and if it was a real hot day you just find a nice cool spot next to the brook trout streams to relax. I miss that sometimes
this is supposed to be a road, not a trail
>>2753894It’s the Metropolitan Natural Park in Panama. Not sure if it’s old growth

California has a lot of freedom hating faggots that are the antithesis to all that is good and natural, and they sure are trying to destroy it, but man this state is pretty. Sonoma coast I hiked around today a bit.
>>2754128Redwoods are kino. Always a reminder to look up in the woods it's pretty neat
>>2754129Retarded forgot the pic
Last one from the day hiking back on the trail.
>>2754128Tough to beat the redwoods but SoCal can be nice too

Western Oregon, Willamette Valley
>>2758853Went back out
/out/ of course means watching YouTubers pretending to camp in storms. I’m tired of van-campers doing winter storm videos — every single one of them are on regularly plowed and marked roads staying at camp sites, ski resorts and rest stops pretending they’re trekking to the Mountains of Madness. Then they’ll bitch about mild discomfort like their van shaking in the wind, dealing with snow the plows don’t, etc. At least the "solo blizzard" campers don’t bitch all the time, even though they’re usually faking the trip.

Look at the size of this damn dam
cool thunderhead rolling in, thought the sun rays looked neat. gave us a good show after dinner up in the mountains.
>>2751416This is the PNW
>>2751862Where is this? Also, if you don't mind me asking, is Bergamo (town) a good place to summer or is there some better place for amenities of a town close to mountain hiking?
>>2762564The place is called "Rocca la Meja" and is located in the south of the Piedmont region. Bergamo is not bad, but it is far from the mountains and you'll need a car, if you are a tourist who comes from far away I don't recommend it. If you want to enjoy the mountains in the best way podsibile I recommend the Dolomites area, and cities like Cortina D'Ampezzo or Bolzano are good places to start from. If instead you want to do something easier and enjoy a city at the same time then I highly recommend Turin. From there there are countless trains that go to the west valleys and there are many interesting places reachable without a car (obviously do not expect high altitudes)
amazing weather today. pic rel, european palm.
took shimarin to watch the sunrise.

View from my hammock last week
Out in Tasmania.
>>2766238in the case from the picture where the glacier is blank ice yes we technically could have crossed it without a rope. depending on the glacier you'll likely have to cross crevaces but you can see them. we only cross certain glaciers without rope in winter on the skis where the risk of collapsing snow bridges is very small. comes down to you personal risk tolerance and your familiarity with the terrain and conditions
