Hiking the Cadillac South Ridge Trail and the Cadillac North Ridge Trail

I hiked the Cadillac South Ridge Trail and the Cadillac North Ridge Trail in Acadia National Park in early December when the Cadillac Mountain Summit Road was closed for the season. I went searching for winter and found it on Cadillac's summit and on the North Ridge Trail.

Forever changed: solo hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim

This single day rim to rim was the hike that started it all for me. I decided on North to South for my first rim to rim, descending North Kaibab Trail and ascending Bright Angel Trail. It was my first time visiting Grand Canyon National Park, and at the time Faber Adventures wasn't a thought in my mind. I planned this for over a year and trained just as long.

Solo traverse in Acadia - 13 peaks in 13 hours!

I solo hiked across 13 peaks in Acadia National Park traversing from Rt 198 by Somes Sound and ending at the Gorham Mountain parking lot on Ocean Drive. I summited Bald, Parkman, Gilmore, Sargent, Cedar Swamp, Penobscot, South Bubble, North Bubble, Pemetic, Cadillac, Dorr, Champlain, and Gorham Mountains.

Hiking the Franconia Ridge Loop in NH as part of our 4,000-footer journey!

What a gorgeous hike above treeline! We hiked the Franconia Ridge to summit Little Haystack, Lincoln, and Lafayette as part of our New Hampshire 48 4,000-footer journey. I can understand why this is ranked as one of the best hikes in NH! We went up Falling Waters Trail, across the Franconia Ridge, then down to the Greenleaf Hut and completed the loop via the Old Bridle Path.

Angels Landing! We won a permit!

We were ecstatic when we won a permit to hike Angels Landing in Zion National Park. There was some snow and ice, but we really lucked out with the weather for this time of year. This video shows the chain section of the hike after a ranger checks your permit. Footage was shot with a gopro attached to the shoulder strap of my hiking bag.

Is The Precipice the best trail in Acadia?

This video is our complete hike of the Precipice Trail in Acadia National Park. Our daughter has asked us for years to try this hike, and this was finally her day. Footage includes The Eliminator, the boulder field, the caves, and so many iron rungs that go up and around steep drop offs and cliffs! Such a great hike!

Hiking the Grand Canyon on the South Kaibab Trail

This is our journey hiking the South Kaibab Trail for a Rim to River at Grand Canyon National Park. We were lucky to also have a room at Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. This was Alfred's first-time hiking into the Grand Canyon.

Half Dome Attempt

Full Half Dome hike in Yosemite National Park. Video includes The Mist Trail with Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls. In June 2024 I flew across the country to Yosemite for a solo hike of Half Dome. It was a beautiful day, the waterfalls were flowing strong, but it didn't quite go as I imagined.
