Trip reports, GPX tracks, maps, and photography from the mountains.
Some days are built around one mountain. This one was built around efficiency, summit logic, and the quiet satisfaction of getting a whole chain of small objectives right. On 14 March 2026, I linked eight short Czech P100s south and southwest of Plzeň, starting on Koráb above Kdyně and finishing in fading light on Bambule…
A short peakbagging report on Bambule, the final summit of an eight-peak Czech P100 day above Strašice, with route notes, summit logic, and practical access details.
A short peakbagging report from Stramchyně, a 543 m Czech P100 above Červené Poříčí, with route notes, summit logic, GPX-based stats, and a memorable cairned forest summit.
HikeMy drive up Pikes Peak Highway followed a winding road through forests, open alpine terrain, and dramatic hairpin turns before reaching the 14,115-foot summit. Along the way, I encountered bighorn sheep, historic landmarks, sweeping mountain views, and the stark rocky landscape high above Colorado.
NoteA drive through Arches National Park became a sequence of red sandstone towers, arches and narrow rock corridors, with dark storm clouds gradually building over the Utah desert.
