That is an interesting question. I can tell you that the police must obtain a warrant to enter your tent w/o your permission, just like a home.
Some states might have codified this, but I doubt...
But the parks are packed. I expect that to continue at least thru this upcoming summer.
Is that a shiv dangling from his wastebelt?
I leave them at established campsites near the bathroom, etc. If there is more fuel, someone can use it. If not, a driver can take to recycle.
Memory serves it got bad around Harrisburg as you go northbound.
The NPS has a historical folding "Unigrid" map for the "trail" but there is no topo hiking map per se that I've ever seen.
The trail is nothing like the AT as you know. Unlike the historical...
Mt. Jo is good if you are a 1st time snowshoer.
I once let my vehicle sit for 6 months. Not only did the battery die, it was never the same. I thereafter had a series of problems with it and grudgingly sold it. You can get much more for a used...
Cascade Mtn is your best bet. 2.5 mi RT w/ great views but 2000' ascent.
You could add Porter Mtn on same day, as it is next door.
You can also go to the ADK Loj and head to Marcy Dam and...

Who knew?
It's that heavy? It feels weightless as it cuts through wood. I never take a saw backpacking, but for a camp saw it's unparalleled.
Out of business! This is the best saw ever! It weighs nothing and cuts through wood like a champ. Glad I have a spare blade like yourself.
The Stabilicers don't look like they'll work but they are surprisingly effective. I have used the version w/ screws as studs for 20+ years.

Is that the PCT or that ridge trail?
I've seen people trekking up Colorado 14ers in sneakers and sweat pants for 30 years.
If you can't check the weather report the morning of a day hike and discern that sneakers and snow don't mix,...
How does one get "driven down" to Marcy Dam"? You could be driven out from Marcy Dam to the Loj road.
Well they don't know what they don't know. They don't know that they are unprepared. At the South Rim of the Grand Canyon the NPS has installed detailed signs at the trailheads spelling out the...
Fascinating page but it requires a password to view most subpages.
I wonder if this number of missing persons is comparable to other large and well visited park areas. Do this many people per thousand randomly meet their demise in the woods or is Yosemite somehow...
Mountainsmith day pack from he late 80s.
I like the new, larger design. The older ones blend in so well I've been known to traipse past them unnoticed.
First, the vast majority of trees in Sequoia Kings Canyon National Parks are NOT Sequoia trees. The issue is not the species of trees but the way the land is managed, as all tree species burn.
The...
Thank you Jonnycat. Most western forests are over forested by this point after a century of fire prevention and control. There was a great picture book documenting the centennial anniversary of...
Here are some more details.
