• National Park Camping Reservation Timing

  If you check recreation.gov, there's an "availability alert" at the bottom of the page for each campground? Source: 5 months ago

• Guide Book Recs

  In the days before smart phones we used the wilderness press guide books and the PCT data book and also the pct water report, which is still out there at https://pctwater.com/. I've gotten local permits for section hikes in So Cal. It's not really very difficult to do. You can get the ones for San Jacinto by mail or in person or both (get the wilderness one in advance, get the state park one from the ranger... Source: 5 months ago

• Need help with local campsite on Recreation.gov

  I have booked a lot of campgrounds through recreation.gov, and have never seen any canvas tents to rent. The only time I have seen something even similar is the teepee rentals at KOA in Flagstaff. Campgrounds in National Forest sites, which you generally book through recreation.gov, are not going to have anything like that. Source: 6 months ago

• Question about how timed-entry permits work

  Hi there, heading to Rocky Mountain NP & Arches in a few weeks and both have only a few slots left that are later in the day. I want to book those as a last resort, but also want to try my hand to get a better time the night before. Is this possible to do on one recreation.gov account (I'm traveling alone)? Or, because of the 1 reservation max, do they not allow you to try a separate purchase process? I obviously... Source: 8 months ago

• Planning to backpack Grand Canyon rim-to-rim mid June and looking for advice

  The friend I'm going with is a teacher and her school year ends early June, thus the plan for mid-June. Curious about temps and what to expect. Also, I know this is the first year they're doing permits through recreation.gov, so I'm not expecting solid answers on this, but any guesses as to how difficult it'll be to get permits? We're planning on entering the lottery (Jan 16 is the start date for the June lottery... Source: 8 months ago

• Ross Coulthart on defense contractors using the 6 months of amnesty to hide UAP crafts, "What if some (of these UAP crafts) are so big, they had to build a building on top of it. Outside the United States.. Let's just have this investigated and see what happens.. I've heard it from multiple sources"

  Also, the documents mention the craft lies between the Skaitevaara and Pahtavaara mountains. I couldn't find either of those on google maps so I did a little more googling and found this website that has detailed information on peaks around the world. So I punched in Skaitevaara and Pahtavaara. Skaitevaara seems to be misspelled and is actually Skaitevarra. It lies directly north of the main buildings at Esrange.... Source: 10 months ago

• I took this photo inbound to Afghanistan 2008. Can you guys pinpoint where these mountains are? I believe this was over Tajikistan

  First I had to stabilize the photo to make it a little more easier to see the terrain. Then I used https://peakvisor.com/ to pinpoint the mountain peaks. After that, I checked the mountain peaks through Google Maps. Source: over 1 year ago

• Suicide Bluff and Dog Mountain loop, November 11, 2022 (Mount Seymour Provincial Park)

  There is also the PeakVisor app: https://peakvisor.com/ It does the same thing of labeling the peaks and it has 3D maps. Source: over 1 year ago
