I always worry about not having enough photos to fill a post with my favorites from the previous year, but it turns out that a year is a pretty long time (despite the feeling that our revolutions around the sun are speeding up). If you're interested, here are the looks back at the previous years:
Continental Divide Trail In Photos: New Mexico
The southernmost 809 mi / 1,302 km of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) covers the stats of New Mexico. New Mexico can (somewhat accurately) be described as the "desert section" of the trail and the entire New Mexico CDT is above 4,000 ft / 1,220 m and more than 75% is above 6,000 ft / 1,830 m
Continental Divide Trail In Photos: The Gila
Northbound thru-hikers of the Continental Divide Trail have a very important decision to make when they reach CDT Mile 173.1 (or for anyone who chooses to do the Columbus Alternate, where you begin the CDT from the town of Columbus, New Mexico instead of at Crazy Cook Monument south of Lordsburg,

Singapore: The World’s Only Island City-state
I was lucky enough to get the chance to visit Singapore on my way down to Australia (thanks to some very inexpensive flights on Scoot Airlines. My time in the country was brief, but not so brief that I couldn't learn a bit about where I was. When you enter Singapore you are reminded that the
Fall Hiking In California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains
Some of my favorite places in the world can be found in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains and I've recently discovered my favorite time of the year to be there: the fall (or autumn as some readers know it). Why? Over the course of four days my group and I saw zero bugs and crossed paths
