Guadalupe Peak--Texas Highpoint

On Sunday April 23, 2006 I hiked to Guadalupe Peak. It was a very difficult hike for me, but the views from the top were worth the effort. About 8 miles roundtrip and it took me nearly 6 hours to complete. I shared the time at the peak with Dennis Arnold from Houston who took the picture of me at the highpoint.

Lost Mine Trail--Big Bend National Park

This hike was fantastic! I had a solitary hike with wonderful views of the mountains. Take a look:







Nearly 5 miles roundtrip, about 1.5 hours to complete. Very windy at the peak, and steep cliffs.

Palo Duro Canyon Hike

Here are the photos from the Lighthouse Trail in Palo Duro Canyon on April 21st 2006. The hike is 6 miles round trip, mostly flat but with great views of the canyon.

Made it!--Black Mesa

Success! I completed the Walking Man Tour 2006 with trips to two highpoints rather than 3 (more on that later). I did survive and thoroughly
enjoyed the experience

Still Planning and Preparing

Walked over 120 miles last month, and am on track for the adventure beginning April 20. Looking at some hikes in Big Bend, and I'm planning to be in Alpine Texas at the Holland Hotel for the weekend.
