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)

 - Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Monument
 - Lava Beds National Monument
