Bob's Hiking & Backpacking Blog

Many of my best photos come from my travel adventures and a lot of these from various hiking and backpacking trips.

I am a Grand Canyon addict and my Grand Canyon Explorer web site is a tribute to this naturual wonder. When I used to have more vacation time I would go hiking and/or backpacking there two or three times each year but in more recent years I have had to cut that back to only one trip per year. My Grand Canyon Trip Reports page contains a complete list of all of the multi-day backpacking and most of the day hikes I have done in the Grand Canyon and is up to date of of the most recent trip in May 2011. As of this past trip I have logged over 1,850 miles hiking and backpacking in The Canyon and have spent 194 nights---over half a year of my life---camped below the rim.

I also enjoy hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire when I cannot get out to Arizona and the Grand Canyon and I maintain a list of my hiking adventures up there. This list has not yet been updated for the 2011 hiking season but photos from these trips can be found in my Photo Blog :

With the last day hike to Owl's Head I have finally completed the list of White Mountain Four Thousand Footers.
