With a recent medical setback, there will be shift from longer, more adventurous hikes and paddles to shorter,  more moderate routes.   Many of the trails, lakes, and routes will feature the kinds of outings suitable for all hikers and paddlers, a change for us.   We have already done some walks and some short hikes so these will be featured this summer with an interspersing of as yet unpublished articles on hikes in Death Valley, Canyonlands, and the US Southwest.
