Where have you gone and where are you hoping to go? I've done some in New Mexico and the marble mountains and I'm hoping to go to the grand Titons.

Absaroka-Beartooth, Selway-Bittertoot, Frank Church-River of No Return, and the Bob Marshall Wilderness areas are all great places. Glacier National Park also has great backpacking opportunities.

as an east coaster, i am particular to the white mountains. presidential range is prime time, especially when the weather is good. hit washington last year on a day they could see their farthest benchmark (a mountain in canada over 200 miles away). best day of the trip. would like to do the whole appalachian trail after college, even if i can only do it in bits and pieces. never have backpacked out west though. but considering i am going to move out there after school i will one day.

Going to the canadian Rockies hopefully this summer, and then possibly Peru in the fall if things work out. South America is somewhere I've always wanted to go.

Me and my best friend did a mini backpacking trip this summer, we could only be away for 2 and a half weeks due to our school and job, but we went to Copenhagen-Berlin-Prague-Salzburg-Hallstatt-Munich, maaaaad fun. I would love to do a greater Eurotrip in the summer of 2014, should be away for at least a month and go from north to south, east to west.

Been backpacking/scrambling in the bc coast mountains since I was a kid. Used to get out every weekend in the summer back in high school.
As far of traveling I've backpacked a bit around belize/guatemala/nicaragua and am about to start saving for a peru/bolivia trip for the end of this summer.

I do a good bit of day hiking in the Southern San Juans. It's okay, but the hills are flat and over run with people. I wouldn't hiking here.
