Tips and Tricks
TRAIL NAVIGATION—It’s not uncommon to be on a great trail and suddenly it’s gone. This usually happens when you’ve missed a switchback along the way. Many times animal paths look like your trail, but aren’t. If this happens to you, don’t panic. Simply turn around and backtrack the way you came. Many times you’ll see the missed junction on the way back down; things in the backcountry do look different when traveling in the opposite direction. If you can’t find the main trial, make your way back to the trailhead, don’t push into unknown areas. This is when Search & Rescue get called in. It’s better to cancel your hike then to push your luck.

Hello. I like your latest picture of the Wasatch. I know that peak, it is American Fork twin peaks (11, 350), the highest peak in Salt Lake County. I have hiked that peak from American Fork many years ago. Very neat that you posted that, not many people know that mountain. In the distance you can see the Phieferhorn. Good day

When I asked if you wore a Ghillies suit for shooting wildlife, I ment photographing them not actually shooting them with a weapon. I will take your answer as a no.
