-20 hikes that are minimum 10mi and 2,500ft elevation gain.
-Get smarter & lighter hiking gear.
-Meet more of you hikers!! (I'm really shy about new people)
On top of those I definitely need to add "New Trails" as the only official trails I've hiked are along the loop from Eagle Creek TH, to Wahtum, then up the PCT to Ruckle and back down - and the trails in Forest Park (though that's more of a casual walk thank a hike). So, I'm just getting started and I've not been acquainted with any other trails really. I would like to do the Wahtum Lake loop a few more times though and get up to the Benson Plateau next time. Shame I won't be able to get there anytime soon, I imagine there'll be more snow than I have gear for =D.
Yay Goals!

Re: What are your 2012 hiking goals?
That's a cool arrangement with having 2 weeks to backpack by yourself, sounds fun.
My goals are:
-690 milesand 140,000 ft EG, basically 1.5x last year
-Climb Hood, Adams, and St. Helens
-Lose about 15 pounds by March and keep it off
-Try out a business idea and see how it goes

Re: What are your 2012 hiking goals?
Maybe this just goes to show how non-goal oriented I am, but this year I want to:
* Have fun and find beauty
* Explore new places, particularly some of the high trails I haven't done
* Strengthen my ties to our hiking/outdoor-loving community
* More backpacks and overnights
See you on the trail...

Lots of hiking this year with summit attempts on Mt St Helens in May, Mt Adams and Shasta in June, Climb for clean Air in July and finally Mt Whitney in August. All depending on getting the permits but I hope I can pull these all off. If you want to come along on any of them shot me an email

Re: What are your 2012 hiking goals?
Hahaha. I know, started it short so if ever I can, I'll just add more. After the philippines I have been lazy though, I might not be able to beat my last years goal. ohwell.mayhem wrote:Damn!!
