I had to move my site due to Tripods new policy of only providing 20 megs of free space, my site currently uses the old maximum at nearly 49 megs. As you may have noticed my site was also being shut down on a daily basis due to exceeding Tripod's new bandwidth policy--but hey what could I expect for free. It was fun while it lasted.

In the coming weeks I hope to release the new format of Alpinejo-Backcountry Trails Guide with a new database and searching capabilities.

Thanks for visiting!

I did not see anyone else on the trail this day. No camping is permitted. This is a great hike to start out a day. Hiking through the forest over and around tree roots, then you meander along coming to Ranger Creek Falls, which is worth a look. Then continue up to the lake, it is pretty brushy and the views of the surrounding hills are worth the trek. It is really nice up there, the peace and quiet are a nice addition. Do it again?
