eclipse goes right over my town so we're having a family reunion.

Wanted to go Gros Ventre near the Teton's but my friend's couldn't make that trek across country; so I'm settling for the Smokies.

What exactly is supposed to happen? I live right on it's path and will go outside if it's worthwhile.

Hey /out/, I moved to St. George a month ago and I'm looking for everything /out/ related in a 300 mile radius. This can be a general for anything you recommend. Hiking, fishing, caving, biking, climbing, etc.
So far I've been up to the Uintas, all over Zion, hiking in Bryce, and some caves in St. George. I'm looking for some lazy kayaking, anybody know of a good place? Let's post our favorite spots (pic related, wildcat canyon in My. Zion--totally devoid of people and a great hike).

I'm in Salt Lake City and I used to live in Flagstaff, Arizona. If you're interested in flyfishing, there is some really good lake terrain in an area called "The Boulders" in southern Utah. If you're willing to go a little farther, the Uintas are of course pretty good, but don't overlook northern Arizona. The Mogollon Rim country and the White Mountains Apache Reservation have some great streams and lakes that are often overlooked but contain a lot of big brown trout.
I didn't grow up in the west originally, so my idea of "lazy kayaking" is a truly slow stream with clear water that also has a lot of volume, like pic related, which is in Missouri. You're not really going to find too much of that out in Utah, though. Small western streams tend to be high and fast in the spring (when a lot of people go whitewater kayaking/rafting), but too shallow in the summer and fall to do much boating on. Early to mid summer is probably peak season for a lot of streams, but it's still going to have a fair amount of rapids. Large western rivers tend to be really quite large and fast in the spring and summer, although definitely more manageable in the fall. A large river (for the west) will be pretty comfy to boat on in late summer, and is probably your best bet. I'm just not sure I'd call it "lazy."

UTMB 2017 will feature two of the best in the world. Kilian is returning for the first time since 2011. Jim Walmsley is supposed to be going as well. Who wins?
American runners generally fail miserably at the UTMB, at least as far as the men are concerned, But Jim has the potential to beat Kilian if it comes down to pure physical fitness.

Find suitable leafs check for bugs
Find a fallen log
Sit on it with your ass hanging over
And give birth to that steamy fudge demon
Wipe ass with leafs
Don't go poo near a river or smokey the bear will kill you.

>>1056397
isn't toilet paper extraordinarily biodegradable? I feel like I'd rather just pack a roll and not have to wipe my asshole with a leaf

Wait a minute.. arent we supposed dig a hole to poo in?

I often find myself batonning 4 or so inch logs in wet weather. At least where I am, any smaller burnables have way too much surface area of wet bark and I just get smoky, slow to start fires. Is anyone here such a puritan that a straight grained 4 inch log is still a sin? What's your alternative?

Hey there /out/,
Armyfag here, about to go back on leave to northern California in the next week or so and looking to do some solo camping by myself for a day or two. I was thinking about a few spots, but one place that stuck out to me was Desolation Wilderness, what are your experiences with it? I am mostly looking for decent views and sights but don't have too much experience with the parks and areas surrounding Sacramento outside of Lake Tahoe, is Desolation Wilderness worth it or should I go poke around a few other spots?

It's definitely worth it.
Before you really get into planning look into what the snow levels are at right now. I haven't been able to get away from work this summer so I'm not sure how much of this winter's mass dump of the stuff has melted off so far.

>>1055656
What this anon said
I was there in 11, which was a year similar to this one as far as rain goes
We went in August and it was like going in June
There was still snow at 8000 ft
There were also tons of mosquitoes
This years snowpack is supposed to be melting faster than in 11, but I'd check the particular route before going

Protip: if you want to make it in the stock photography business you need to have more than 3 photos. You also need to wait for the right lighting, and ideally you should go back in time to the film era, before digital photography, Flickr, and Creative Communism collapsed the market.

Update:
Is there a difference between the Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area and campground? Can I camp in the wilderness area for free without reservations?

Anyone know any good nature books?
Pic related is awesome. Anyone living in or near the Canadian Rockies should own a copy. Not only does it have pretty much everything you could want to know, it is also a lot of fun to read, unlike most field guides.

This book is awesome. It doesn't cover everything and the bird art isn't very good, but it's amazingly comprehensive and helpful for the Sierra.

Just say the world is ending - you're at the library. You don't know shit about trapping and proper hunting techniques, and you had to throw a god-tier book which teaches this shit into your bug out bag...
What book is it?

See if there's a place nearby that rents boards and gives lessons.

Less wind and chop to mess up the swell, so better breaks.

I'm getting a 1 and a half month payed leave from work in December. And I am thinking of going to another country to do some long distance hiking/camping or bikepacking haven't decided yet. I was thinking norway because of the relaxed camping rules. But it's winters might be to much to enjoy. What are some good countries to do this. I want to spend as much time outdoors rather then staying in hotel rooms. I was thinking New Zealand but I don't know what the restrictions are like towards random camping.

South Sweden? France is pretty nice for hiking/camping as well. Maybe Switzerland.
>>
>>1054413
I look into France and Switzerland I feel that Sweden would be to cold to stay outside for a long time in the winter. I want to be able to find a place to camp in at night as I plan on hiking for biking for a long distance

>>1054409
what kind of tent is that?
