Trail Running with Nemo
Summer wanes. Days are short and still getting shorter and weather is less stable. The fall colors are all but gone, but on the plus side the summer crowds are all but gone as well. I came to Yosemite for the rock climbing, but lately, it’s the hiking and especially trail running that appeals to…

Anniversary Run
A few weeks ago I celebrated a one year anniversary by going for a run on one of my favorite Yosemite trails. It has been a whole year since I was crushed by a giant boulder midway up LeConte gully, rescued by the heroic Yosemite Search and Rescue team, and put back together at Stanford…

Badger Pass
Seems like all the ski stores are running their pre-season sales now. Many of the resorts are praying for an early snowfall with dreams of a Thanksgiving opening.

Sharsmith Peak On Hold
Carl Sharsmith’s name is almost synonymous with Yosemite and Tuolumne Meadows. He was a much beloved naturalist whose nature walks inspired millions to step off the asphalt and see the wild Yosemite few do. Unfortunately efforts to honor the longtime Yosemite icon by naming a peak in his honor have run into a bureaucratic quagmire.…

Two Cool Videos of Bouldering In Yosemite
I personally don’t climb because I’m a big stupid animal who is very clumsy (so not lieing here) but I have great admiration for those who love the sport. Here’s a couple of great videos from Betabase via Tom over at Allclimbing.com of bouldering in Yosemite. Way cool. BetaBase: “As some of you know Courtney…

Visitors May Soon Be Without a Place to Stay
During the summer months getting a campsite or hotel reservation within Yosemite can be a nightmare and often visitors turn to campground in the Stanislaus, Inyo and Sierra National Forests as a place to stay when they can’t find room anywhere else. Things are changing for those who’ve found places they like in the Stanislaus…
