Picture 12/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: Odd Spots: Not every step is a mountain top, sometimes you have to cross desert valleys that stretch for miles without water. This one is different though, it has water, you can hear it as you walk, enough for a city, but every drop is stuck in a giant metal tube that drains the riches of the Sierra snowmelt to satiate the thirst of Los Angeles, a city built where no city should be. I think the trail has been relocated now. It no longer follows the aquaduct across the Mojave, but I don't regret the walk across. It taught me what it is to feel my lips cracking from the heat and my tongue drying in my mouth as enough water for millions flowed by, just out of reach. #pct #pacificcresttrail #trails50 #aquaduct

Picture 11/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: As Far As You Can: I didn't make it to the top of Thielsen's jumbled spire. The last rocks were too steep for me that day. But I made it close, and close to the top is a better view than never going at all. #trails50 #pacificcresttrail #pct #thruhiking

Picture 10/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: Part of the Wild: Sometimes we forget that we don't come with claws or legs fast enough to keep us safe, we don't have sharp teeth or armored skin. We don't remember that our only edge was between our ears, that banding together was the only thing that kept us safe. But the trail reminds you and when it does you feel all those old senses emerge, feeble and weak, trying to scrape off civilization's dust, because you're alone in the wild where bigger things than you roam free. #trails50 #cdt #continentaldividetrail #hiking #backpacking #evolution #wilderness

Picture 9/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: Kitchen View: You carry your house on your back when you walk the long trails. It's all there, the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom, wrapped up in stuff sacks and shoved in a backpack. Sometimes your bedroom has roots running across it that make your back sore in the morning, sometimes the lounge has a nice rock to sit on as you eat dinner, sometimes you have running water, sometimes you only have what's left in your bottle, and sometimes the kitchen has a view like this one from the high Sierras along the Pacific Crest Trail where the entire world stretched out below you and you feel like the last and luckiest person left on Earth. #pct #trails50 #sierranevada #hikertrash #nationalscenictrail

Picture 8/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: Storms Come: You can't avoid storms on the long trails. You can get lucky sometimes, watch them past in the distance, but one day they will find you. You are out too many days with too far to go to miss them forever. In the end, you must take them as they come, respect their power, enjoy the reminder that you are small. This is from a snowstorm in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. I found an old mining shack just off the divide, mostly broken down, just a few boards still clinging to the roof and wall, but enough to break the wind a bit and warm my hands in my jacket. Every storm passes eventually and the sun is sweeter for it. Good luck to my friends and family in Tallahassee. Love you all and thinking of you tonight. #trails50 #continentaldividetrail #cdt #hikertrash

Picture 7/50 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Scenic Trails Act: Places You Never Heard Of: The big National Parks are easy, who hasn't heard of Yosemite or Yellowstone? But some of my favorite memories come from wild places I'd never heard of before stepping on a National Scenic Trail. This is from the Wind River Range, a beautiful spine of granite mountains hidden, almost forgotten, in the shadow of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, but just as spectacular, perhaps even more so.
