Since 2009, I have been leading multi-day hiking trips around the western United States. In 2020/2021, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I started to build web pages for those trips. I have three goals for these pages:
- Provide trip attendees with details to prepare them with the logistical details.
- Provide a bit of science background for those who will attend, as well as those who won’t be able to make it.
- Provide questions and answer space.
List of pages with general information about trips
- Death Valley
- Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Area (Hwy 50 in the middle of Nevada, about 200 miles East of Reno)
- Salt Point State Park (California coast about 60 miles north of San Francisco)

- Lava Beds National Monument
