    This is a return trip to the Wind River Range in WY. This is a week-long outing with significant off-trail components, targeting remote valleys with beautiful lakes and impressive peaks. We will be covering 50-60 miles with multiple options to extend or shorten the route, depending on conditions. Trail days will be up to 15 miles, off-trail days on the order of 6 miles, with the option of additional excursions from camp should we arrive early.

    BJ Orozco, our long-time llama packer, has transitioned his llama business over to a new owner, Eric Sheffield. We have met Eric while he has supported BJ on a couple of previous trips, and enjoyed his company. BJ had a good long run, but Eric offers some new energy and ideas for the business. I look forward to more years of trips with Eric.

    We had a terrific hiking weekend around Hanksville, Utah in October 2025, but there is much left to explore. I have arranged to rent a “Red Rock Cave Home” in Hanksville, Utah (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/32183107), which will be our base for a week of day hiking in a part of Utah that I had hardly visited before last year. We have the house from Tuesday October 20 to Tuesday October 27, giving us 6 days for hiking.

    I would like to announce the eighteenth edition of our successful hike/explore/bike trips to Moab. We have been going almost every November since 2008, and every time has been a great success.

    We have many times travelled to Bluff, Utah for a taste of the canyon country, and will do so once again this December. Bluff is less than six hours from Los Alamos and, situated along the San Juan River, at a low altitude best suited for trips late or early in the season. Even in early December the average daily high is around 50 F. There are numerous places to hike and explore from Bluff, including the ruins and big views of Comb Ridge, the canyons accessible from Cedar Mesa, the canyon rim just north of Bluff itself, and farther afield to places like White Canyon.
