โTropical islands, beach bungalows and fruity drinks with umbrellas. Ho hum and a bottle of rum. Thatโs so, uh, pedestrian โฆ You know, honey, thereโs a trail that runs 2,650 miles from Canada to Mexico, over some of the Westโs most rugged terrain. Weโll put about 10 pounds of bare-minimum essentials in ultralight packs, lace up some comfy shoes and lock up the house for four months. Itโll be a wonderful honeymoon!โ

A striking pinnacle just east of Yosemite Falls draws adventurers from around the world. Reaching the summit of Lost Arrow Spire affords an awesome view of the parkโs glacier-carved valley and takes no small amount of technical skill. But for once in this renowned climbing mecca, the climbing isnโt the story.

The headlights of my vehicle dance on the horizon. I crack a window to breathe in the cold sage-scented air. As I bounce along the washboard road, I wonder what it is I enjoy more? Getting completely lost in a maze of backroads? Or finding what Iโm looking for โ that bubbling pot of liquid nirvana at the end of a dusty road.

This was my first trek, Bobโs third. We are pushing 60 from both directions โ he is 61 and I am 59 โ and this may have been our last trek. Bob, a retired businesman, has been to Bhutan seven times in the past few years. If you asked him why, he would say it was because he admires the society; because he appreciates how the people and their benevolent king are moving forward with a common purpose and how Mahayana Buddhist, the state-sponsored religion, permeates the society, creating an atmosphere that is special and unique. He had invited me to join him a number of times. This time I said yes.

Should you ever find yourself in a bar-room dispute with Scott Williamson, do not โ I repeat, DO NOT โ challenge him to a walk off. Sit down and cool your heels. You know not what you're getting into. You'll lose. You'll lose big. You may even lose your soles; yes, the soles of your feet.

When it came time to design its state quarter for the U.S. Mint, California had a wealth of iconic images from which to choose: larger-than-life personalities, grand structures (the Golden Gate Bridge would have been an obvious choice), and countless natural wonders. In the end, a state not known for dwelling on the past did just that, reaching deep into history to create an illustration with a strong conservation theme depicting the ancient California condor, the great naturalist John Muir, and Yosemite's 87 million year old Half Dome.

Short pants and sunny High Sierra granite on the East Buttress of El Capitan, with a sweeping view of the Cathedral Rocks from the belay; this is as good as it gets.

Ten years ago, Ray and Jenny Jardine hiked the entire 2,700-mile length of the Pacific Crest Trail in only three months and four days with packs averaging less than nine pounds. Their 1994 trip was their third PCT thru-hike since 1987 and followed summer treks on the other two legs of what he referred to as the โTriple Crownโ of long-distance hiking โ the Continental Divide and Appalachian trails.
Read MoreNow is one of the best times to visit the Eastern Sierra for a dose of alpine solitude and adventure. The twilight of summer and the onset of fall is arguably the most peaceful time of year in this bold landscape tucked away from Californiaโs swarming population centers by a little range of hills called the Sierra Nevada.
