Who needs self-driving cars when it seems like we're all masters of using our phones while driving already!?!? Seriously though, it feels like every other car has a driver on his/her phone. Cant say I never do it, but it's definitely not a habit.

Map Monday (prairie dog edition): Wind Cave National Park, Badlands National Park, and Custer State Park I think the only thing that's grown more than Moab is the prairie dog population in the Dakota!! These three parks are filled with them ... as a bonus of all the dogs, I saw…

A couple business updates before I spend a few months sleeping in my truck and tent. Walsworth recognized National Park Maps as one of their Best in Category winners! I cannot say enough good things about the team and quality of work at Walsworth. If you have printing needs,…

Trail Tuesday: Old Man's Cave/Whispering Cave/Cedar Falls (Hocking Hills State Park) The first word that comes to mind while hiking around the Old Man's Cave area is enchanting. There are waterfalls, tunnels, bridges, and an endless interaction of water and rock. It's a popular…

Map Monday: Hocking Hills State Park! Had a radio interview in Columbus, OH, and while I was cursing the rain on the drive there ... April showers bring April waterfalls! Absolutely gorgeous park, with a variety of high reward, relatively low effort trails. Had plenty of time…

Sunday Stats: A little Yellowstone Pie! Much is made about ruining nature by pavement, parking areas, and trails. Let's take a look at the first National Park, Yellowstone. It has 251 miles of roads. About 1,000 miles of trails. Let's assume the average road is 24 feet wide. A…

Trail Tuesday: Pipiwai Trail (Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii) Sticking with the sun theme ... Haleakala means "house of the sun" but over on the cloudy side of the massive volcano, you'll find a lush jungle and more than 100s of waterfalls. The star of this hike is…

Map Monday: Middle-of-Nowhere Southeast Illinois!! Took a little drive south to look at the sun! 1st mistake: looking for a good spot to set up, I thought "who needs 4 minutes of totality, when you can have 3 minutes on top of this hill?" 3 minutes flies by! 2nd and 3rd…

I crossed paths with the guy who made this documentary. It's about so much more than mushing some dogs. Highly recommended if you have 30 minutes on this Total Eclipse Eve (or any day). I don't think you'll regret it. youtu.be/F3i-n8OIqUQ?si…

Sunday Stats: A little more pie! I'm still harping on visitation. Last year 41% (38M visitors) of all visitors arrived at a National Park (just the 63 National Parks not all 429 NPS Units) in June, July, and August. 54M visited during the rest of the year. I regularly suggest…

Trail Tuesday: Chimney Rock Canyon/Spring Canyon (Capitol Reef National Park, Utah) Small parking lot. Tall red cliffs. Great trail! You can hike one-way through Chimney Rock and Lower Spring Canyons, getting picked up along SR-24 after about 9 miles of pure bliss. It requires…

Map Monday: Mount Rainier!! You can't tell from the map, but Mount Rainier is hard to miss ... it's 14,410 feet tall. What makes it stand out is its prominence. It towers 13,212 feet above its surroundings, more prominent than K2 (the world's second highest summit behind…

Sunday Stats: Here's a little pie for your Easter Sunday! I've been looking at public land camping. National Parks (All 429 NPS Units): 346 Campgrounds National Forests: 5,083 Campgrounds Of course, National Forest campgrounds aren't the monstrosities you'll find at the big…

After weeks of a little cat and mouse of someone trying to hack my Facebook account, they finally got in. Two interesting points: 1). They got in when I got sick of their nonsense and set up 2-factor authentication. 2). They hacked it, linked an Instagram page, and it…
