Humphreys Basin is a wonderful place to explore. I’ll definitely go back. Enjoy, KV

John and I are back at it in the Sierras. We kicked off this Season as soon as the trailhead opened to Mammoth Pass. The buses to Reds Meadow weren’t running yet when we hiked this. So, we basically had the entire trail to ourselves. The creeks and trails were raging with snow melt and the mosquitoes got intense the lower we descended into Cascade Valley. But the views were sublime. It felt gre...

I did a three-day hike in the Sierras over Kearsarge Pass to Charlotte Lake. I also did a day hike to Glen Pass.

I did an overnight hike via the New Army Pass trail to Cottonwood Lakes and camped at Long Lake. The weather on Day 1 was fantastic. But, high winds on Day 2 dashed my hopes for a Mt.

A lot of backpacking videos focus on gear and the big three: backpack, shelter, sleep system for weight savings. I thought I would I share a few of my food recipes that have helped me drop pack weight and increase my energy on trail. Most of these recipes are REAL food, affordable and tasty. I've even included cocktails! Cheers! KV www.kvadventures.com Live simple. Live well Music by Epidemic S...

Watch KV get smoked on trail by his daughter on her very first hike to the High Sierras. She made me look like a complete rookie. She could even break camp quicker than me. Ha ha! What a wonderful situation for a father to have. I look forward to many more trips with "Classie". The Minarets, Lake Minaret and Minaret Creek did not disappoint. We enjoyed spectacular weather, highs 70's, lows 40's...
