May be you need a top 100 list. Lol. I have some experience with some of them Torres del Paine, Teton Crest, one new experience in the Grand Canyon.

I do have two number 1 adventures. Walking the Camino de Santiago with my wife will forever be the best five weeks of my life. As you and many of your readers will already know the sublime benefit of extended walking adventures for clearing one’s mind because of the simplicity of lifestyle. My other special trip was trekking into K2 basecamp. The Karakoram Mountains are possibly the most spectacular on the planet. Trekking up the Baltaro and Godwin Austin glaciers amongst some of the most famous mountains on the planet culminating in seeing the unmatched beauty of K2 is forever seared in my brain and heart.

But there are so many others in Canada, the US, Bolivia, Peru, Scotland, France/Switzerland, Bhutan, … you understand!

Sounds like good memories, April.

One of our most memorable adventure was at Grand Canyon, where we have traveled with the whole family. We booked the West Tour and the Sky walk is so much better than in the movies! Our kids also loved camping near the Colorado river. We enjoyed eating and talking with the warm bonfire! Can’t wait to go back!

That’s a tempting offer, Steve. You just may hear from me soon.

Call me anytime. S

You think like I do, Leigh: Always planning the next several trips. I like it.

Looking at the Iceland photo makes me want to go there right now. Patagonia is in my sights for early 2015. I’d love to do the John Muir Trail and LOVED the Rime to tRim to Rim – and would happily do it again in a heartbeat. I have done loads of great adventures in Canada – and I think backpacking in Banff & Jasper NP’s ranks right up there with what you have in the US.
