Day 2 of 2020 Idaho Trip, Hyndman Peak

July 17, 2020

Second day of my Idaho trip. I planned to summit Hyndman Peak. At an elevation of 3660m, it's the tallest of Pioneer Mountains. Rated as class 2, it’s one of the easiest 12'ers of the state. Unfortunately, my badly-picked outfit added quite some difficulty and misery to my trip.

Hiking in Delaware Water Gap

October 12, 2019

It's a beautiful October weekend as I explored Delaware Water Gap, a destination that's on almost every top-X hiking list of Northeastern US. And it's the best time of the year when rolling hills put on their most vivid autumn colors, a most spectacular feast before brutal lifeless winter took over.
