Just curious what folks have on their hiking/biking bucket list..

For me:

#1/#2 GDMBR/CDT (ride it not race it:)) and Trans-America bike ride Virginia to Oregon

@hikebikefun Thanks for starting an awesome thread!

Here are my top three (for right now):

Bikepackrafting trip to the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes.
Ski descent of Mt Adams (with the dream of skiing Rainier but knowing I have a ways to go before that happens).
Taking my daughter (7) for her first backpacking trip, likely to Annette Lake and hopefully this summer.

How about everyone else?!?

@hikebikefun I once kayaked out to Smith Island in the Chesapeake and camped there for a week. It was a phenomenal experience living among locals and I would love to do that again. Aiming a little higher I would love to visit the Hadaii Gwaii..........

Great question!

In no particular order:

John Muir Trail
Colorado Trail
Week-long kayaking/camping tour in the Pacific Northwest
Loyalsock Trail (planning for next Summer)
Finally... get over my fear of snakes!

These are great, definitely let me know how you accomplish that last one, you may have a best selling book there!

I assure you, @TomIrvine - if there’s a snake, I will NOT be whispering. 🤣

OK, so how 'bout: "How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Snake"?
