August 22 and 23, 2024 had me trundle down from Marie Lakes to the Mono Creek Bridge and then up to Silver Pass. To pass the time, I discuss the tradeoff of mileage versus views and the choice of campsites. Bonus discussions of the search for the perfect rest rock. Filmed with iPhone 14 pro.
Thoughts on the John Muir Trail to Silver Lake
Prince Edward's Island National Park hugs the northern coast line and provides some the best scenic biking trails and beaches on the island. For more information: https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/pe/pei-ipe/visit/greenwich Filmed on July 19, 2025 using DJI Action Cam 4 and iPhone 14 pro
Gravel Bike Tour of PEI's National Park – Greenwich
Saint Peters to Morell is a short section of 7 miles on the Confederation Trail on Prince Edwards Island, Canada. This 400km trail can be section biked (or hiked) and enjoyed in many ways. Gravel bikes are almost overkill so get to it! See this link for more information: https://pointseastcoastaldrive.com/places/confederation-trail/ Mostly filmed with DJI Action Cam 4. Small amount of iPhone 14 pro.

Filmed July 17, 2025. The short 10km trail begins at the Cavendish Campground and winds through ocean marsh and farmland and can be considered the western portion of the Gulf Stream Parkway. Filmed with DJI Action Cam 4
Gravel BIking the Prince Edward Island Homestead Trail
In August 2024, I left Evolution Valley and hiked northbound to Muir Trail Ranch, where I discovered the most amazing hot springs across the river from the MTR campground. The next day I hauled up the 3500' to the summit of Selden Pass and down to the lovely Marie Lakes. Video taken with iPhone 14 pro.

13 friends rode the loop from Northampton, MA south on a gravel/road ride. Supposedly 32 miles ended up at 40 miles. Filmed with DJI Action Cam 4 Sunday, May 25, 2025
Ashley Reservoir Gravel Ride
August 19, 2024 dawned a Sierra blue-bird day but the constant gale made for a sleepless night. Leaving Wanda Lake, strolling past Sapphire and Evolution Lake, finally ending in McClure Meadow in Evolution Valley. Magical! Filmed on an iPhone 14 pro
Hiking north through Evolution Valley on the John Muir Trail
Sunday, August 18th, 2024. I left my camp near the Bishop Pass trail in McClure Meadow. I saw a large rockfall on the way to Muir Pass. Most likely due to the gale, I was the only soul camped that night at Lake Wanda, the beginning of Evolution Valley from the south. Filmed with iPhone 14 pro.

On August X, 2024, I descended from Upper Palisades Lake down the Golden Staircase and into McClure Meadow. Down but a long slog nevertheless. Filmed with iPhone 14 pro
