Hiking

[benagain]

I've allways loved hiling, but not nearly as much as some of the people do back home. I used to run into people walking the apalachian trail all the time. Now that shit looks like it would just be too hard.

i agree geo, there's nothing like going on a 'trail blaze'

I agree. The AT looks awesome to hike. I was just back in Ohio and sent for some information on it. That is a great looking trail and alot of money is spent to keep it nice. Awesome.

I was just talking again today about Mt Whitney today

If anyone decides to hit the AT, take a stop at the nantahalla area in NC and let me know. that shit was by backyard. I know some killer spots to stop and burn. :thumbsup:

Ever do any of the PCT? I'd love to do the whole thing but with my job, wife and 2yo daughter it doesn't look like I'll do it anytime soon. I did do about 120miles of it between Sonora Pass and Yosemite though. Awesome country, especially right near the northern border of Yosemite.

Only problem with Whitney is that it so crowded. Just getting a permit for it can be tough. If you've got some climbing skills, however, there are some really nice routes that are off the beaten path. I've known a lot of people who have done the mountaineers route and am told that it's pretty fun and non-technical. Just some minor scrambling, you won't be on a trail but you won't need ropes either.

No. I have never done the PCT either. It is hard to set aside the time. That is why I do mostly day hikes. There are a ton of these type of hikes in my area.
I want to get a 4x4 by years end so I can go out to alot more remote type areas.

I just looked Iron Mountain up on Google. It shows it is in Poway. Is that right?
