Quail Creek State Park

Location: west of Hurricane, Utah
Dates: March 12 and April 19, 2011

Quail Creek State Park near Hurricane in southwest Utah is a park centered around a reservoir.  The primary activities in the park are boating and fishing, although there is also a small campground.

Verdin

The primary purpose of my visit was to see if there any interesting birds around.  The park is at the northern extent of the Mojave desert near St. George and the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve and about 30 miles from Zion National Park.  The only different bird that I saw on my visits was a verdin, which reaches its northern extent here.

The birds I saw include:
    Osprey
    Yellow-rumped warbler
    Verdin
    American coot
    Spotted sandpiper
    Rock wren
    House finch

The Precipice Trail, Acadia National Park

Image
Distance: ~1.6 mi (2.6 km) round trip
Highest elevation: 1,058 ft (322 m)
Elevation gain: 958 ft (292 m)
Date: November 24, 2010


The Precipice is perhaps the best and most challenging trail in Acadia National Park.  The trail ascends nearly 1000 feet up the vertical eastern face of Champlain Mountain.  I did this hike on a chilly and windy November day when there only a couple other people in the park and none on this trail.


The trail begins at the Precipice trailhead on the Park Loop Road south of Bar Harbor.  The trail begins gaining some elevation for a short distance until you reach the bottom of the cliff.  Next comes the best part of the hike when you reach ladder rungs inserted into the granite of the cliff.  You also have to  walk along several narrow exposed cliff edges, only a few of which have railings, in order to reach each following set of ladders.


The views from this trail are fantastic and are well worth it.  During my visit the prevailing winds were coming from the w…

Spyglass Hill Trail at Enid Lake

Image
The Spyglass Hill Trail is a 20-mile network of hiking and equestrian trails along the south side of Enid Lake in Mississippi. This trail is on Army Corps of Engineers land and can be accessed from multiple trailheads (see the map below). I hiked the trail the warm winter afternoon of January 27, 2017.


I began my hike from Ford's Well, which is a developed day use area and campground on the eastern half of the trail network. Overall, I found this trail to be much like other hiking trails in the region: wide (often plowed by machines), predominately used by horses, on the same paths as old roads, and very poorly marked, often with many side trails. Cumulatively, I hiked a little over five miles on this trip.


I began my hike by going clockwise on the small loop south of Ford's Well, which passes through forest, cleared areas, and then returned on an old road to the trailhead. From the trailhead it took a fair bit of searching around to find where the trail continues from the far…

Borah Peak, ID

Image
Summit elevation: 12,662 ft (3,859 m)
Distance: 7 miles (11.3 km) round trip
Elevation gain: 5,550 ft (1,692 m)
Class: 3
Date: August 8, 2011

Borah Peak in the Lost River Mountains is the highest point in Idaho and the 11th highest state high point in the United States.  The route to the summit is only 3.5 miles one way but gains 5,550 feet making for a very steep ascent.  Along the route, Chicken Out Ridge, at over 11,000 feet, is a very difficult class 3 section that will test the nerves of anyone who attempts it.  The peak, as well as the rest of the Lost River Mountains are on Salmon-Challis National Forest.


The trailhead is accessed via a dirt road heading east from US route 93 north of Mackay and south of Challis.  It is strongly recommended that you begin hiking between 5:00 and 6:00 am depending on your pace in order to avoid afternoon thunderstorms and lightning, which may occur regardless of precipitation.  There is a campground at the trailhead, but no water is available at…

Rocky Ridge Horse Trail at Enid Lake

Image
The Rocky Ridge Horse Trail is an 8-mile round trip network of trails along the northern shore of Enid Lake in north Mississippi. The trail starts from the Plum Point area, with the trailhead on the left as you're driving towards the campground.


The only map I have been able to find of this trail is the one that is on the board at the trailhead. I went on this hike with the knowledge that there is supposed to be a trail here, but that's it. This trail turns out to be a lot like others in Mississippi - poorly maintained, poorly signed, used by ATVs, and has numerous other side trails that at times go in every direction. To hike this trail you need to know of the general direction to hike in, how to get back, and just go.


Once I got about a mile and a half from the trailhead the trail looked like it received very little use. I eventually reached the midway point on the trail where a dirt road provides access to the lake. From this point, a left the trail and walked along the dr…

Birds of the Dominican Republic

Image
Dates: May 9-17, 2011


On my trip to the Riu Bachata in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic I spent some of my time looking for some of the island's wildlife.  A variety of lizards were plentiful in some areas of the resort around dusk, but may of the birds took some extra searching.


Most of the birds I was able to find were around the resort, and this included a couple of endemics: the Hispaniolan woodpecker and the palmchat.  The Antillean grackles and red-legged thrushes, a close relative of the American robin, were commonly seen in grassy areas.  Gray flycatchers were always flying in open areas along the rock cliffs and seemed unfazed by people.


I wanted to see at least one of three species on Hispaniola: the Hispaniolan trogon, broad-billed tody, or narrow-billed tody.  The only one I was able to find was the broad-billed tody (picture here), another endemic in a family that exists exclusively in the Greater Antilles.  I also found West Indian whistling ducks in a swamp near th…
