I don't make many gear recommendations, since it is all so much a matter of personal preference. But the New Balance Minimus UL running shoe is once more available. It goes in and out of production in

John, thank you for the prompt response. Are the raw data available to view? One thing I am curious about is the attrition rate. I witnessed a number of people leaving early for one reason or

Thanks, Peter. That’s very interesting!

Where does one go to find the results of these annual surveys? I googled and couldn't find the data. Surely it's accessible (and not just on FB). Can someone point me to it? Thx.

I would like to add an interesting point about VVR.? I have heard many people say theu don't want to stop there because they don't want to "miss any of the Trail".? However, Vermilion Valley is much

Thank you so much!? That is great information.

I echo what Steve Perry said re VVR. ?I'll also add that even though it was a bit of a pain to get to VVR (basically an extra day of hiking for a zero day there) vs MTR, VVR did seem quite busy. ?If

I’m resupplying at MTR. I asked about staying overnight (they normally have some availability if large groups are not staying) but they aren’t offering this service in 2021. ?So anyone who wants

We just got off the JMT SOBO and stayed two nights at VVR. Don’t let any of the weird reviews on Guthook confuse you, VVR is a wonderful place. Very good food and extremely friendly. New management

I just got off the trail. Air quality was bad in the Owens Valley, but cleared up dramatically once you got up and over into the mountains. So what you get on the east side of Kearsarge can be (and

Thank you, really good judgement on your part.? If I do start on Sept. 8, I'll be ready to call it off if it doesn't feel right on the initial climb up Kearsage Pass.? Should know within a mile or

The MTR bucket survey sounds like a compelling idea but to complicate that, I used MTR only because the ferry to VVR was not running this year. Wonder if MTR may have had a bump in business because of

Hi Laura, At the bottom of the email you’ll see a link that says “your subscription” than once you’ve logged in to that you’ll see your username in the top right corner of the webpage. You

Could you please change my email address to sussmanlaura@...?? Thank you

We had planned a hike up Sheppard's Pass to Florence Lake August 23 - September 8th. ( slow, I know, we are in our 60s and 70s)? anyway we started up Sheppard's Pass this last Monday morning and it

"Are numbers actually down?" I don't know. Maybe John Ladd and his annual survey can capture this to some extent. Someone told me that MTR has a significant reduction in their bucket business this

I noticed this, too at the places mentioned but especially at the South Fork crossing, which usually looks like a Scout camporee.? One tent at about 5:00 PM. I even had Whitney summit all to myself

Just having finished my JMT, I was surprised by how empty some of the usually busy Sierra spots were — don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the increased solitude, it just wasn’t what I expected. Rae
