Timberline Trail Full Throttle

The Timberline, a 66 km trail that circumnavigates Mt Hood in Oregon. Situated about an hour SE from Portland the trail starts at the Timberline Lodge at the base of the ski hill and slowly ribbons its way around the mountain exposing all its nooks and crannies in spectacular fashion. Parts of the PCT intersect and piggy back the trail here before branching off again. … Continue reading Timberline Trail Full Throttle

Unrecognized Success

Wait, WTF are you talking about? Is it not a beautiful thing? Does it count? Does anyone care? It may be hard to determine that answer for some. We are so often (myself included) caught up in the tracked stats, or socially acknowledged accolades of achievement. Maybe hopeful for some acknowledgement from others in the same bracket, friends, or family that we forget why we … Continue reading Unrecognized Success

Run your feet off!

Truthfully I was so busy trying to complete my last running project I hadn’t really given myself the time to reflect on the year … Continue reading On the Horizon

And…Wow what a year it has been. Covid has been a bit of a thing. I know. Let’s digress. Ugh. This year held some amazing highs and … Continue reading 2020 Rear view mirror

In the void of adventure

So. Here we are. A world of adventurers. In a time unknown to us. Lost in the ripple effect of Corona Virus. At home (hopefully). Keeping on, keeping on. Isolated pods. How do we stay motivated. Moved. Moved to pick up a map and start drawing the line of our next adventure? Piecing together the next Epic? In short, by will. Please. Please do not … Continue reading In the void of adventure

35 hours and 42 minutes of Epicness

1168 kilometers, 2 states, 1 mountain, 35 hours and 42 minutes of epicness. The objective was simple enough. Drive from Vancouver, BC to Government Camp, Oregon and summit Mount Hood via the Hogsback/ Southside route, and drive home. With our lack of time away this trip was all business for my friend Tristan and I. We only had 2 days available to tackle this giant. … Continue reading 35 hours and 42 minutes of Epicness
