This is a thread dedicated to outdoor activities -- hiking/backpacking, climbing, cycling, trail running, etc. Feel free to post about recent hikes/trips you've done or cool places in your area.
I'm mostly into hiking myself. I've been trying to ease my way into longer hikes since a few friends and I are looking to hike the John Muir Trail in summer 2016. Otherwise, the longest trail I've hiked was about 40 miles over 3 days in New Zealand.
I've been trying to get into trail running but it's hard due to a distinct lack of good trails where I live. I usually get on a kick while traveling, which quickly fizzles out
Nicest hike I've done was probably the Lake Solitude loop in Grand Teton. Once you get past the hoards of people near the parking lot, it's a bit more secluded, especially in late summer. I'm going back to do the Teton Crest trail later this year.
