Trip Report – Hammock Camping on Humphreys Peak

Derek Hansen — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 22:33:15 +0000

September 4-5, 2020 It’s the tallest mountain in Arizona. And it’s volcanic (No, not active!). Well, every mountain around Flagstaff is volcanic in origin. In fact, I think Flagstaff is home to all five different types of volcanoes. The area is peppered with hundreds of cinder cones, but Humphreys Peak dominates the horizon in an […]

Trip Report – Hammocks in the Grand Tetons

September 14–18, 2019 The best remedy I can think of for getting past the emotion of dropping off your oldest child to college is heading into the woods. Thankfully for us, the Grand Tetons were a short drive away from BYU-I, and it was just the prescription we needed. We’ve driven through the Grand Tetons […]

Hammock Trip Report – IPP Community Center in Delta, Utah

Derek Hansen — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 12:03:41 +0000

This past summer my family hosted a reunion at the famed IPP Community Center in Delta, Utah. Yes, it's in the middle of nowhere and it seems like a crazy place to have a reunion, but the facility is pretty amazing and the price is reasonable (untouchable), especially if you've got a big family.

Guest Trip Report – Hammock Camping in South Africa

Situated in the warm Free State Province, the Golden Gate Highlands National Park is a great tourist attraction. It is close to the Lesotho border and features a wide array of different animal and wildlife. I had the opportunity to visit the Park after its amalgamation with the Qwa-Qwa National Park and see the full 130 square miles.

Trip Report: Kayaking on Apache Lake, Arizona

Derek Hansen — Sat, 28 Jan 2017 23:52:48 +0000

I was invited to do a quick overnight kayaking trip on Apache Lake in Arizona in January. Coined a “cold weather” event for those coming up from Phoenix, for me, it would be a rather warm destination as I was traveling south from Flagstaff. Apache Lake is a man-made reservoir created in 1927 to help […]
