If you ever plan …
… to travel to Hawai’i I can recommend these books: Well, it’s no suprise and you likely stumbled over them on Amazon (or you favorite book store). They have great detailed Maps and all the gory details you need if you plan an individual travel to those Islands. All these books are written by Andrew [...]

On the (back) road
Back in November I sorted out some “on the (back) road” movies and converted them into flash videos. Unfortunately, my camera had some color-problems in movie mode – I think this is since it became really wet on my Angels Landing Hike in 2007.

A message for Karl – The Subway
Hi Karl, perhaps you’re reading this before getting to The Subway. For good light you should start very early (around 4 am at Springdale). I met a German hiker on his way back to the North Fork trailhead around 11 am! He reached The Subway at 8 am and told me the light was good [...]

Next US Trip – Finalized
With a Coyote Buttes North permit for the 27th of May in my pocket, I had to make some last minute routing changes. I speculated to get the CBN permit for the 30/31 of May but that was not meant to be, which means I had to cut-off some days visiting Colorado – to be [...]

Coyote Buttes North Permits
Since May 2007 permits for the Coyote Buttes North (CBN) area are not assigned on “first come first serve” basis any more. That time BLM introduced a lottery application form which looks pretty much the same as for The Subway at Zion NP managed by NPS. It’s quite hard to win the lottery because only [...]

Yellowstone & Grand Teton
After two days in bed with head-, throat- and body aches, I had plenty time to read two books and make some detail planning for Yellowstone and Grand Teton. My next trip to the US will bring me to those two National Parks where I’m going to stay five days in total (four at Yellowstone [...]
