Today’s video is packed full of adventures! I check out a few lakes, hike to a couple of waterfalls, and encounter some wildlife of the not-so-cuddly variety. I finish up my time in Lassen Volcanic National Park and continue my trek northward. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I spend two days hiking and camping in the stunning backcountry of northern California’s Lassen Volcanic National Park. It was an amazing adventure full of cinder cones, lava flows, volcano views, a bunch of lakes, picturesque streams, and wildlife. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Here’s a map of the route I took (click here if you can’t see the map below):

In this video I have grand plans but then run into some wildfire troubles. I make a change of plans, drive north, and show you some gear modifications. Stay tuned for next video, the one about my two-day backpacking trip in Lassen Volcanic National Park. It’ll be EPIC! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I climb Boundary Peak, the highest mountain in Nevada. The scenery there was incredible! Then I drive north, back into California, and find a sweet campsite south of Lake Tahoe.

In the video I mention bears in Nevada. I did some more research about bear populations in the state and found this fascinating PDF report. It’s worth reading if you too are curious about the Nevada bear population.

In this video I share some of the things I did and saw in California’s Yosemite National Park when I was there for a week with my family. I go to Hetch Hetchy, see a bunch of waterfalls, go rock climbing, go tubing on the Merced River, and hike up to the top of Half Dome. A great week! Also, about half of the footage is from my new camera. Do you notice a difference? (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I hunt for Native American rock art in Nevada’s Big Rocks Wilderness, have some alien encounters (of a sort), head into California, wander around the fantastic South Tufa area of Mono Lake, and find an amazing free lakeside camping spot on Grant Lake, not too far from the east entrance of Yosemite National Park. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

In this video I continue exploring the highlands of the Markagunt Plateau in southwestern Utah. I hike up a mountain, try and fail to hike to another spot, explore Cedar Breaks National Monument, drive one of the highest roads in Utah, have a couple of wildlife encounters, and make some dinner from a gorgeous camp on the edge of a meadow. Whew! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)
