Now on with the M310 Bucket List: (Not in any specific order)
- Backpack the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim. This week or longer trip starts by parking at the South Rim and hiking down to the river for a day or two of exploration at the bottom. Then hike up the North Kaibab Trail to the North Rim and spend the night on top. That's a Rim-to-Rim trip. Now we add the third rim by hiking back to Phantom Ranch at the river for another night then back to the truck on the South Rim.
- White Water Rafting Through the Grand Canyon. Well that sums it up. A week long white water trip by day and camping along the river at night.
- Moab, Arches and Canyonlands. A week of mountain biking on the slickrock combined with a few hikes to see the arches.
- Trek to Machu Picchu. The Inca Trail is approximately 40 miles winding through the mountains of Peru to the ancient Inca lost city of Machu Picchu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/machu_picchu
- Mountain Bike the San Juan Huts From Telluride to Moab. There are a series of huts along forest roads between Telluride, Colorado and Moab, Utah specifically designed for mountain bikers travelling through the mountains. The huts are fully stocked with food, cookware, water, beds, etc and strategically spaced for making the trip in six days. www.sanjuanhuts.com/bike_huts/index.html
- Amazon River. Do something involving adventuring and the river???
- Yosemite.
- Teton.
- Glacier.
- Yellowstone.
- Trek to Everest Base-camp. No personal desire to summit Everest but trekking through Nepal to base-camp would be spectacular.
- Chilkoot Trail Backpacking and Hop the Train Back to Skagway. The Chilkoot is the original Gold Rush trail and it intersects the railroad line headed back down the mountain into Skagway, Alaska.
- Copper Canyon, Mexico. Backpacking, trail running and mountain biking in the land of the Tarahumara.
- Paria Canyon, Utah/Arizona. Backpacking through Paria includes hoisting your pack to rest on your head as you wade through slot canyons filled with chest deep water.
