Anybody out there into hiking? Personally im pretty fond of it.

What are your favorite hikes to go on?

I love hiking in the Smoky Mountains. I have a trip planned for this summer. Can't wait.

My favorite hike so far has been a seven mile loop in silver falls st park south of portland OR. Amazing waterfalls and lush greenery.

I'd have to say that my two favorite hikes are Maryland Heights and Annapolis Rocks. Both are less than an hour drive from my house. Maryland Heights is a large rock outcropping that overlooks Harpers Ferry, a cival war town in WV that sits between the Potomac and Shennandoah rivers. Annapolis Rocks are along the Appalachain trail near Myersville, MD.

Here's a photo that I took last weekend at Annapolis Rocks...

I do most of my hiking in Pa. usually within an hour or so of phila. Some of best times have been on the A.T. in Va & Md. Hophead I picked up the AT in Harpers Ferry last year and headed south for a few days. This summer I'll be starting in SNP and heading north past Front Royal.

Sweet! Did you climb Maryland heights while you were there? I spend a lot of time at Harpers Ferry. It's only about a 45 minute drive from my house.

Didnt make it there. I started from the park visitor's center and headed south for a few days. When i came back for my truck it was getting late so i headed to Secret 6 for a few cocktails and then hit the road. The area seemed fun,i would love to get back down there and check more stuff out.

Too bad. The view is awesome from the top.

Ahhh yes, The Secret Six Tavern. Been there many times. I named my racing team after that place.

I just visit some of the state and county parks near me. This time of year I try to keep it short, less then 2 miles. I also have a kid carrier this year and am trying to get the little one used to it.

We go as a family since we have little ones who can't ride.

Went to Enchanted Rock a couple months ago. It's been so hot it's unbearable during the day.

I'm near the Adirondacks, so I have good access to hiking spots and might try doing it a bit this season, since I don't usually do that. It'd be good to get outside and do something active (other than biking, of course!).

I love hiking, but there is a rather limited amount of decent trails in my area. I was in bliss when I went to the rocky mountain nation park last June, 40 mph winds, snow and 20 degree weather were not enough to keep me off the trails there.

I was just there on Saturday. Hiking at 12,000' is exhausting! The weather conditions were pretty good. It got down to 49 and rained a little, but otherwise it was awesome!

I would totally love to try going up Pikes Peak on foot, despite the top elevation of around 14K feet. I've been there before by car though.

I guess it's more of a straight shot up if you're hiking, because you don't need to follow the twisty roads.

Those trails at high altitude where a pain, but after my next trip there when I bring my bike they are probably going to seem easy. I am dreading the thought at trying a 19 mile climb that tops out at over 12,000' but if I can pull it off it will probably be one of the most memorable things in my life

Live to hike up to the Muir Wilderness in the Sierra Nevada, explored a lot of the Eastern side and up to Mt Whitney, really want to hike the Western side. Lookin foward for my next adventure(s).
