Well, between one long rafting trip, visits to friends & family, circumnavigating the U.S. by train, and a terrible, smoky, trail-destroying wildfire season, we managed to squeeze in 111 unique hikes, with 758 trail miles and 144,820 feet of elevation gain - in Oregon and several other states. It was a busy year but a good one. If not for the fires, and the loss of some of our favorite trails, it would have been a great year.

Re: Show us yer stats
It was another slow year for me but most of my home projects are done now so I hope to get back on the trail more in 2018.
Stats: 143 hikes but only 117 days hiking and 105 trail/forest hikes. Road/street hikes I'm not counting in the 105. Lots of days I did multiple short hikes.
52 summits/high points-new-to me in five states: OR, WA, NV, CA and AZ
667 miles, 171,900 EG
Highlights:
Iciest hike: 15 way tie on Eagle Creek, Greenleaf Peak, Crown Point and Prindle Mountain. A few pics:
Longest, most elevation gain, and highest elevation: Marion County HP at 9,000’ on the north ridge of Mt. Jefferson, 14.4 miles, and 5,024’ EG, July 14th:
Hottest: 4 way tie, Death Valley, three hikes on April 11, 92 degrees, and Holdaway Butte, Dark Divide, Aug. 2nd, 99 at the TH (but probably only 85 to 90 in the forest.)
Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes, Death Valley - some of the first scenes in the first Star Wars movie were filmed here:
Bad Water, also lowest elevation hike: minus 279 feet
Devil's Golf Course, Death Valley Also, Tie for roughest terrain:
Roughest terrain: tie with Devil's Golf Course, McKenzie Pass:
Most irradiated summit: April 14th, Hayden Peak, Hualapai Park Arizona.
(is it normal to glow in the dark after a hike?)
Muddiest hike, with Peder, Eagle Creek, Feb 17th:
Most exciting: 3 way tie, Eagle Creek with Peder, Feb. 17th; Shark Rock with Kelly Wagner, Aug. 18th. And Kirk Rock with Kelly Wagner, Oct. 4th.
Most colorful rocks, Red Rock Valley, near Las Vegas, April 12th:
Most Scenic- too difficult to measure - I could post a thousand pics here but here are a few:
Mt. Baker area:
And, Snagtooth Peak, Dark Divide:
The very best hikes are always with my TFFs here are a couple of pics:
Archer Mt. April 29th with Peder, Lynelle, Brett and Payslee:
-And, Nov. 25 with Jamito and his family on Larch Mt. hunting mushrooms:
