  • For your reference, from 1998 to mid 2001 most of my hiking took place in the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains of northern Idaho.  After July of 2001, I moved to Boise and the hiking shifted to southern  and eastern Idaho.  I moved to Denver at the end of the 2003, so most reports from this point on are located in Colorado.  Of course, there are always a few trips outside of Idaho and Colorado.

  • In terms of difficulty, I would have to say that the earlier hikes from 1998 to 2000 are Class 1 and 2 trail hikes to small lakes or low peaks.  I stuck to the trail for most of 2001, but got a bit braver towards the end of the summer climbing Mount Borah and Hyndman Peak, two Idaho 12ers.  After the snow melted in 2002, I completely abandoned the trail and spent the summer scrambling and bushwhacking mostly off trail with plenty of Class 3 hikes.  The 2003 hiking season is similar to 2002 and also has a couple of snow climbs.  Since moving to Colorado in 2003, I have been hiking, scrambling, and even doing a bit of easy technical rock and ice climbing.  I have also done several more snow climbs over the past years.  More recently, I have also been out on some easy mountain bike trails.
