At the summit you're rewarded with 360 degree views that take in the Central Valley, Redwood Canyon, and the High Sierra far to the east.<br />Photo: Miguel VieiraManuel Limahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14777358900661979466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903786823838620859.post-76224778059913385702008-05-05T22:35:00.002+01:002008-05-05T22:37:48.253+01:00Cotopaxi Mountain, Ecuador<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/trekking/markg6.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We went on an 8 mile round trip snowshoe hike up the West Side road, through the Longmire entrance of Mt. Rainier.<br />We went up to Dry Creek, which is where you normally park if you're hiking out of the WSR trailhead. We shared a freeze fried meal and a cup of tea, then headed back.<br />The park is closed due to damage from ferocious wind and rain storms. On Sundays, they let people hike in at 10am. It's better than nothing!<br />The news reported last week that the park likely won't be open until April, and that a complete circuit of the Wonderland Trail probably won't be possible. <br />Photo: Troy MasonManuel Limahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14777358900661979466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903786823838620859.post-32698144090518516472008-03-27T17:05:00.002+00:002008-04-30T01:57:16.665+01:00James Peak Hike - Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/trekking/JamesPeakHike.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px;" src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/trekking/JamesPeakHike.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />1993 hike to the top of 13,294-foot James Peak with international students from the Economics Institute.<br /><br />In August 2002, the James Peak Wilderness Area was officially dedicated. The Congress designated the 14,000-acre area, which straddles the Continental Divide in Boulder, Clear Creek, and Gilpin Counties. The legislation also added 3,000 acres to the nearby Indian Peaks Wilderness Area and created a 16,000-acre James Peak "Protection Area" encompassing the 7,000 acres of the James Peak Roadless Area in Grand County and other adjacent National Forest land. The legislation prohibits mining, timber cutting, new road building and land exchanges in the James Peak Protection Area.<br />Photo: Gregor VManuel Limahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14777358900661979466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903786823838620859.post-35932639251699989222008-03-23T23:04:00.003+00:002008-04-30T02:00:13.089+01:00The Long Trek - France to Italy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/trekking/25.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/trekking/25.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Off piste ski touring up from France and over into Italy <br />Photo: Ashley PollakManuel Limahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14777358900661979466noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903786823838620859.post-88612574249319249452008-03-19T16:23:00.003+00:002008-04-30T02:02:03.038+01:00India - Tada<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/trekking/India-Tadamckaysavage.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px;" src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/trekking/India-Tadamckaysavage.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Trekking to Tada Falls, shortly after the lunch spot and Shiva temple, the trail disappears as the canyon narrows and you continue over rocks and often wading directly up the river.
