Been lurking for awhile so decided sign up. Looks to be a great group with a lot of valuable information.
Been hiking/backpacking for 5 yrs. Backpacked to Havasu Falls & Mooney Falls, numerous Colorado trips (my son lives there), backpacked all over the Grand Canyon, heading up to the Grand Tetons backpacking this week, and with any luck, I would like to do the Mt. Hood Timberline Trail loop next August. My wife and I were on a roadtrip up there last year and I said I was coming back to backpack that area.
Anyway, glad to be here.

Good to see you here. The Timberline Loop awaits you.

Tetons!
I'll be doing 100 just south in the Winds here in a couple weeks.

The Rockies have some spectacular terrain, but I find the very frequent thunderstorms to be very annoying.
By contrast, we just have a little smoke now and then in August.

Just got back from the Tetons, had a great backpacking trip there. First time carrying a BV500. Was kind of a pain, moving food and other smell items back and forth, but you do what you gotta do. Hoping to get away with a Ratsack on the Timberline. Time to start planning the trip for next August. I am sure I will have a ton of questions. Be patient.
