Welcome to my hiking photo montage. Here you will find the pages of my past hikes, mostly which were done in Utah. Click on the photo, and you will be taken to that specific page.

I also have some pages with tips for hiking, which can be seen here.

Also, I have a wishlist of places where I would like to go hiking, which can be seen here

I hope you will enjoy my hiking reports.

2006 - Grandeur Peak
Reine, Moskensoya, Lofoten, Norway
8 October 2006 - Longing to hike again, I coaxed my bf to go hiking again. We chose Grandeur Peak due to no snow cover and proximity to home.
2006 - Preikestolen, Norway

5 August 2006 - During my trip in Norway, I decided to hike one of the famous hiking route to Pulpit Rock, some 1000 metres above the Lysefjorden.
2006 - Lofoten Islands

29-30 July 2006: I walked quite a bit around the island of Moskenesoya, trying to find the Munkebu trail. It was such a beautiful place, and I got to see the village of Reine as well.
2005 - Lake Blanche, UT
28 August 2005: This was our second hike up Lake Blanche Trail, which was much different than our first one which was in May 2004, when the trail went through some snow fields.
2005 - Sugarloaf Mountain, UT
20 August 2005: Trying to meet with a group of deaf hikers, I couldn't find them anywhere. So I decided to go hiking on my own, going to Cecret Lake, and ultimately, Sugarloaf Peak.
2005 - Antelope Island, UT
16 August 2005: Bored out of my mind, I decided to do a last minute hiking, and chose Frary Peak on Antelope Island as my destination. It started out beautifully, but the hike was threatened by t-storms.
2005 - Sunset Peak, UT
8 August 2005: Wanting my Kim to come along with me, but taking in account of time constraint and my Kim's preference of a short hike, we decided on hiking up Catherine Pass towards Sunset Peak.
2004 - Bald Mountain, Unitas
October 2004: Kim and I went for a drive down to Mirror Lake Highway in the Unitas, and went for a short hike up Bald Mountain, which afford us of fantastic view of the Unitas from the top.
2004 - Mt Olympus, UT
3 October 2004: This was our second attempt to ascend Mt. Olympus, a mountain on the edge of Salt Lake Valley. During our first attempt, Kim injured his right foot so we went down for safety, and were greeted by a rattlesnake. Our second hike was much better.
2004 - Mt Timpanogos, UT
29 August 2004: Ever since I moved to Provo, I began to dream of ascending Mt. Timpanogos. Kim and I went on a 8-hour long hike from Aspen Grove to the summit. It was great to ascend one of the county's highest peaks, at 11,749 feet above sea level.
2004 - Deseret Peak, UT
8 August 2004: After hiking some peaks in the Wasatch Range, I felt as if I wanted a change and to hike elsewhere. I decided to hike up Deseret Peak in the Stansbury Mountains Range west of Salt Lake City. I really liked this one because it was not crowded with mountains around me.
2004 - Gobbler's Knob, UT
26 July 2004: For my birthday, I had wanted to hike up to Mt. Raymond from Mill B Fork trailhead. It was a great hike, which took me to Baker Pass, and we somehow ended up going to Gobbler's Knob instead of Mt. Raymond, whose peak seemed to be quite imposing compared to Gobbler's Knob.
2004 - Naomi Peak, UT/ID
4 July 2004: During the Fourth of July weekend, we decided to go to Bear Lake. Knowing that I love hiking, Kim suggested hiking up to Naomi Peak during one of the days of our trip. Naomi Peak is a beautiful peak in middle of nowhere, with towns far off. 
2004 - Lake Blanche, UT
22 May 2004: During a very warm day in the valley, we decided to cool off by going for a hike in the mountains, specifically to Lake Blanche. We were caught off guard when we arrived at the top of our trail, which was covered with more than a metre of compacted snow. 
2004 - Grandeur Peak, UT
April 2004: Ever since my wanderlust had been awakened, we decided to go hiking up Grandeur Peak, which was supposedly to be easy enough for novice hikers. Part of the top of the trail was covered in snow, but it didn't hinder our ascent to the summit.
2004 - Angel's Landing, UT
18 April 2004: When I went on a business trip with Kim in Southern Utah, he kept telling me about a wonderful trail called Angel's Landing, and how we had to do it. It was a bit too much for a first hike for a flatlander like me!
