First two entries in the contest are in, and they’ve already set the bar high.

Dan Ransom did some hiking, and took some superlative photos, in the Uintas. (Only major range in the lower 48 which runs W-E.)

Josh Spice, of whose blog I was previously unaware, (finally) did a great trip in the western Hayes Range. Seeing the Wood valley again was memory-inducing. Read the background on Josh’s trip for the full picture. I hadn’t thought about hauling bikes along, but it might not suck too bad…

Looking forward to more, get at it!
