All Ireland Hikes
These are the hikes that Brian has typically used during the Ireland trip.
ANF BP - Cedar Glen, Comanche Camp, and Cucamonga and Etiwanda Peaks
Primary trip plan (2 days): Icehouse Can Trailhead to Comanche Camp and side trip to Cucamonga Pk on return
Day 1: Icehouse Can Trl to Comanche 5.1 mi (7.0 via Chapman)
Day 2: Comanche to Icehouse Saddle 1.6 mi, Icehouse Saddle to Cucamonga 2.2 mi, Cucamonga Pk to trailhead via canyon trail 5.7.
Therefore day 1 is 5.1 mi (or 7.0 via Chapman), and day 2 is 9.5 mi with a rather hard 1 mi climb to Cucamonga Pk but some gear could be cached.
Additional 2.1 miles if adding Etiwanda for a total of 11.6 on day 2.
Alternate trip plan (3 days): Icehouse Can Trailhead to Comanche Camp with side trip to Cucamonga and Etiwanda Peaks on middle day.
Day 1: Icehouse Can Trl to Comanche 5.1 mi (7.0 via Chapman)
Day 2: Comanche to Icehouse Saddle 1.6 mi, Icehouse Saddle to Cucamonga 2.2 mi, Cucamonga Pk to Etiwanda Pk 1.0 mi, Etiwanda Pk to Icehouse Saddle 3.1 mi, Icehouse Saddle to Comanche 1.6 mi. Sub-Total 9.5 mi
Day 3: Comanche Camp to Icehouse Can Trailhead 5.1 mi via canyon (7.0 via Chapman)
"Worm Flows Buttress"

'ALL 10th Mountain, Alfred Braun, Summit Hut and Grand Hut Routes 2024
These are all the hut routes I know of for the huts listed on huts.org (including 10th Mountain, Alfred Braun, Summit, Grand, and private huts). If you have any additions or corrections, please feel free to reach out to me at jeff.j.suda@gmail.com.
The routes are color-coded as follows:
Red: Standard route
Green: Hut-to-hut route
Black: Alternate route
Please note that the Section House to Francie’s route and the Sangree M. Froelicher To Carner's Cabin are potential optios, but I couldn’t find any evidence that it has been completed yet. Similarly, the Sister to Section House route appears viable based on satellite images, but I haven't confirmed it in the field.

2019 mount rumble
https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=23611 tips
The route finding is pretty obvious almost to the summit ridge. From Bombardment, you'll see a 45 degree gully cutting up Rumble's SW face. This is your route. Slog your way up this endless rock chute, stopping to examine or attempt some of the rowdy V0/V1 boulders along the way. You'll eventually approach an obvious notch to your left, just below the ridge. Walk directly up to it, then take a ledge to your right. This route bypasses some fun but unnecessary 3rd to 4th class scrambling up cliff bands. Gain the ridge and hit all the high points, because who knows if the summit register is in the right place. Bask in the glory of the shimmering ocean to the west and colossal glaciers to the east.
Coming back over Bombardment was the real test. I was totally worked by the second time I came over! And this time I opted to descend the scree further toward Pleasant instead of chop more steps. Good idea. I now know that most people use a far easier and sneakier way around the rock glacier... Next time!

editing map, like elevating the whole route by 10 feet. this helps because the trail as it is sometimes disappears on some maps (google studio) and elevating it insures it's visible everywhere.

2022 Philmont Scout Ranch Overall Starter
Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. Revised by Gerald Hinkle Jan 18, 2022. Contains camps, peaks, boundaries, and PSR trail lines. Updated with new camps from the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Primary data sources are PSR GIS data files labelled 2021 and 2019. The 2018 Ute Park Fire Zone boundary is down-sampled from 2019 edition of the official PSR GIS data. Some sites unchanged between PSR 2019 and 2021 data were left with 2019 notation. Also used data from PhilTrek.com, and some Open Street Map data. Camps where PSR GIS, PhilTrek, and Open Street Map data differ by 500 feet or more have multiple markers. Additional mountain peaks of interest are marked (arbitrarily) from OSM data. For planning use - always consult Philmont-PRINTED maps for final navigation. (Line and icon attribute cleanup 01/20/22)

Payahǖǖnadǖ - "Place of flowing water."
Note: camping and fires are not allowed on Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) property, which covers most of the Owens Valley floor. Obviously this cannot all be patrolled, and camping is done all the time. You're warned. Please don't have fires unless you're in a campground with fire rings. When this valley catches fire it burns fast. Never trespass LADWP fences enclosing aquaduct structures.

Adamant Range Mountain Resort
ARMR is a theoretical European-style ski resort in the pristine Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia. A brief description can be found below. For more information, please visit the Adamant Resort website!
The Canadian Rockies hold some of the best potential worldwide for the ultimate mountain resort based on geography and weather. After surveying mountains all over the continent (and the world) using topographical/slope steepness data and extrapolated precipitation patterns, this location was decided upon for its vertical drop, slope aspect (skiable slopes mostly face north instead of south), projected snowfall totals and snow quality, varied terrain, and natural beauty. The development is modeled after resorts like France's Les Trois Vallees, Italy's Via Lattea, and Austria's Kitzbuhel (KitzSki). Ski resorts like these, which feature many villages interconnected by expansive ski lift and trail systems, are virtually unheard of in North America (Utah's One Wasatch concept would be the first if it ever garners approval).
The proposed plan includes two large mountain villages (Everly and Loganville) and nine satellite villages; all eleven establishments are accessible by public transportation. The towns will encompass lodging, shops and eateries. All downtown areas are designed to be vehicle-free (in similar fashion to Zermatt) to add to the small-town ambiance and prevent congestion, but will have local transportation in the form of cable cars and buses to help move visitors around. Only full-time residents of the area will be allowed to have vehicles at all; vacationers will need to leave their vehicles in the parking lot in Donald and take the train (or arrive by plane or boat). A system of trains and trucks will move personal items between villages while patients ski during the day for those who are changing lodging accommodations. Some villages will have direct ski-in/ski-out access, and feature trails that weave right between the buildings. Small neighborhoods of custom homes will be available for permanent residents outside of each town and around the region based on demand. All buildings must meet pre-established architectural standards, and neighborhoods will be modeled after private communities like Martis Camp in California's Lake Tahoe region, The Colony in Park City, and Montana's Yellowstone Club. Each town will have a central architectural theme that models different areas of the world of skiing. The town of Everly will include a small college and a local hospital. Night-skiing will be available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays above the town of Everly on the Northeast aspect of Tabernacle Mountain. A scattering of luxury hotels and lodges can be found throughout the area, some of which are only accessible by ski lifts or helicopters. The resort will also feature a few golf courses. Two trams transport sightseers to the peaks of Adamant Mountain (10,974') and Mount Sir Sandford (11,545') for extraordinary views of the resort and surrounding mountain wilderness. Design and construction of all infrastructure, buildings, and ski lifts will be done in the spirit of environmental conservation to minimize impact, and the resort will develop renewable energy sources to work toward a zero net-energy presence.
Three large subranges of the Selkirks will be involved in the ski lift infrastructure. A sizable portion of the area is covered by snow year-round. Based on data collected for nearby Valemount Glaciers Resort, natural snowfall should easily be able to cover areas above 4,000'. Similarly, CMH's Adamant Lodge (which sits at an elevation of approximately 3,000') usually has adequate powder for winter activities. Artificial snowmaking will be used to cover slopes along Kinbasket Lake (where the lowest elevations can be found) when needed. Due to the sheer size of the resort, entire areas can be closed when snow coverage is spotty without really affecting the overall availability and diversity of terrain. The lift system was designed to add as much skiable area as possible. British Columbia is known for its glades skiing, and many forests will be left untouched (apart from lift construction) for those seeking a more natural experience. In addition, private cat-skiing will be available to guests who desire it; areas that are not lift-served will be open to these types of operations. A ski school will be located just outside of Kirkwood (Red Carpet and Snoopy's Park lifts) for beginners. Terrain parks are scattered throughout, including an area above Everly which will be open for night-skiing and competitions.
The region will become a tourist hotspot similar to nearby Revelstoke during the Summer, with activities such as mountain biking, hiking/backpacking, and boating on Kinbasket Lake. Backcountry and traditional camping will be available as well. Summer glacier skiing will be available in the Forbes Glacier Bowl above Vallee de la Cascade.
ARMR is far larger than any existing resort on Earth and includes a vertical drop that tops all but Chamonix. Relevant statistics for the entire establishment can be found below:
-Lift-Served Vertical = 9,002' [Cloud 9 Tram (11,496'), Sullivan Line (2,494')]
-Total Number of Lifts = 175
-Total Length of Lifts = 222.61 miles
Statistics regarding the ski area itself:
-Total Skiable Area (Approximate) = 161.22 square miles
-Lift-Served Vertical (Skiable) = 8,021' [Pioneer Lift (10,515'), Sullivan Line (2,494')]
-Largest Continuous Skiable Vertical = 7,930' [top of Pioneer Lift (10,515') to Down The Hatch to Newton's Theory to Corner Pocket to Valley Forge to Meadows to base of Swan Bay Connector (2,585')]
-Total Number of Ski Lifts = 171
-Total Length of Ski Lifts = 219.547 miles
-Total Vertical of Ski Lifts = 357,811 feet
-Total Number of Trails = 1,018
-Total Length of Trails = 1,021.556 miles
-Total Vertical of Trails = 1,244,714'
-Total Area of Inbound Glades = 8,171 acres
-Total Length of Night-Skiing Trails = 22.0 miles
-Total Length of Summer Glacier Skiing Trails = 9.89 miles
Projected costs for a project like this are immense, and the combination of lack of funding, government roadblocks, and competition from established resorts nearby basically guarantees that plans like this will never be brought to fruition. The principles on which it was designed, however, are replicable. If the North American ski industry ever has a chance of rivaling its European counterparts, resorts of this style will be what evens the playing field.
Disclaimer: I have never visited the area that this resort encompasses. All decisions made for where trails and lifts could be constructed were based on mapping software. The area is already used for backcountry skiing by Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH) and the Alpine Club of Canada, which both operate lodges here; claims from those organizations and personal accounts from their respective beneficiaries support the idea that this region has great potential for ski resort development.
Adams Farm
I enjoy the White Trail at Adams Farm, but find the current trail marking confusing. My notes here are an effort to unscramble it for myself and then hopefully to help others.

ADT-WV-Seg-2/3 Alternate Route
This alternate route of the ADT is suggested due to the dangerous nature of pedestrian traffic on Rt 38 through Barbour County WV
ADV: Rabbit - Gateway - Rabbit
This ride was exceptional. Wound up doing it in 2 days starting on 5/15/19. Ran into a few snow banks around 8,900ft between Gateway and Grand Junction near the Divide Forks campground. There was also a rock slide on the Nitch road, but we were able to ride right through it.
Adventure Hiking Trail Packrafting
Some options for packrafting near the Adventure Hiking Trail in southern Indiana. Potato Creek is never boatable except maybe at high flood. Not sure about Indian Creek. I published a Youtube Video of a route here. Feel free to email me at jamtastical3@gmail.com for more info.
