2008 Plans
Colorado Mountains: All year
 
US National Parks

I'd definitely like to visit more of the National Parks, especially the following:

Big Bend, TX
Glacier, MT
Grand Canyon, AZ
Haleakala, HI
Katmai, AK
Lake Clark, AK
 
US State Highpoints

I hope to finish all 50 US state highpoints. I'd also like to summit more of the "second highest" mountains in each state. Mostly, I'd like to do these in the western states, such as the Grand Teton (WY), Mount Adams (WA), and Mount Jefferson (OR).

 
Backpacking 

Someday I hope to take the time to hike a few long distance trails. Maybe not anything as long as the Appalachian Trail, but trails that would take at least a two week commitment.

Appalachian Trail, TN/NC: The 70 miles in the Great Smoky Mountains
Benton MacKaye Trail, GA,TN,NC: 290 mile alternative to the Appalachian Trail
John Muir Trail, CA: 220 miles from Yosemite to Mount Whitney
Long Trail, VT: 270 miles along the Green Mountains
Superior Hiking Trail, MN: 205 miles along Lake Superior
Tahoe Rim Trail, CA,NV: 154 miles around Lake Tahoe
Timberline Trail, OR: 40 miles around Mount Hood
Wonderland Trail, WA: 93 miles around Mount Rainier
 
International Travel

I'd love to travel more internationally, both to see new cultures and new landscapes. A few places on my list to visit:

Bolivia Climbing 20,000+ ft mountains
Canada Canadian Rockies and West Coast Mountains
Iceland Beautiful National Parks
Ireland Trekking
Nepal Definitely trekking, maybe attempt a really high mountain
New Zealand Trekking/climbing
Norway hiking and climbing above the Arctic Circle
Peru More mountain climbing and trekking
Turkey Trekking/climbing, lots of mountain ranges
