so many hikes... so little time; but we gotta try; don't miss any opportunities to do new ones;
i need a hiking/backpacking partner if you're interested email CalGuy92056 at hot mail dot com;
did monarch lakes last fall, fontana lake in great smoky park last june; have done the half dome (on everyone's "must-do" lists) trails a few times and yosemite back country backpacks; west coast trail along west coast of vancouver island-- highly recommended, bowron lakes kayak circuit ( http://www.bcadventure.com/adventure/explore/cariboo/trails/bowron.htm ), etc.; but need to do more high sierra backpacking; so my preferences are that you be fit, female, over 50...
