Can I get some help understanding settings for AQI for smoke? Specifically conversion settings on the purple air sourced readings. My vague understanding was the purple air sensors are kind of calibrated for an "average" pollutant in a way that doesn't necessarily do a great job of looking for smoke...

Question: how was the zigzag river crossing and blow down situation? Water up at paradise? I'm thinking of taking my family up there next week. I'm not OP, but I can answer based on a couple recent visits--7/5 from the Lodge and 8/2 up #778. Blowdown was minimal. Just some in the switchbacks down t...

Wow, I've never looked at those directions before. That would honestly confuse me even knowing the area. Why would you not just go up to the PCT? It's well marked, there's a big ol' landmark with the communications tower you can orient people to for added direction, and there's lot of people going t...

The Tie trail was clear of snow but really barely exists beyond the occasional ribbon and elk track. This really surprises me to see. I was out there yesterday and came here to report that the tie trail was looking pretty great. For the first time I was able to follow the trail all the way from top...

It was here

They've named alcohol as a factor in the fatal fall. So I guess there is something you could be doing to avoid it happening to you after all.

I'd like a little more information for lessons learned so someone else doesn't make the same mistake. Like, did he get off the trail? Was he taking a picture and to get the right perspective step around without looking? (I've done that before but fortunately I didn't fall off the cliff) As far as t...

No, that's how I heard about it though, in a reddit thread discussing yesterday's fall. Before there was any info out, people were speculating it could be connected (it wasn't, but apparently the sheriff's department had to actually make a statement that it wasn't connected?). Then things went off o...

Yeah, so, reconsidering any positive thoughts I may have had about this guy. Turns out he was there for some stupid tiktok stunt where he hid a case with $1000 off the trail and broadcast for people to come look for it (though possibly not on the same day as the fall, that part was unclear). Nothing...

I think this is where that woman fell and died at Wiesendanger a year ago?

Here's the guy's original gopro video from his facebook
