yeah its 15 minutes away. I have 4 awesome mountains I love to hike in the area, and 25 mins away is the pass for snowboarding and skiing, i 2 mins away from an awesome lake...I love where I live :D
Nou: Um. Dont remember hehe.
and its amazing. Ive taken my dog up there and its running EVERYWHERE. That thing must travel 4x as much as I do on that hike and doesnt think twice about it
also. Hike kilamanjaro while you can because in 20 years the snow cap will be melted on it :\
Id love to go, my dad was in Kenya said it was amazing...next time he goes to do mission stuff I might hitch a ride and explore :p |

| That is really nice, but the englishman had it right. You can't beat the rockies. Especially for skiing. Are those the Appalachians or Adirondikes? Or neither? I have to go a lot further to hike, if I want to. At least 20 - 30 minutes. |

OMG i TOTALLY want to do this. i saw some people do it on tv and the landscape was so cool. have you done it? was it hard? what kind of training did you need? 20k feet is no joke...
by the way, orbax has a nice body in that pic. |
I haven't done it. I was supposed to do it in June, but I came here instead. (bah!) - Maybe next year!
You don't need much training - and no technicial gear. You just have to be in pretty good shape and able to deal with some extremes. There is a glacier on the top so you do need minimal cold weather stuff.
That's what I've heard at least. |

| i hiked Mt. Fugii in Japan during a typhoon (typhoon came towards the end)...couldn't make it to the top because of it. i only did 13k feet...i had like 2k more to go. waste of a trip. i didn't get the last two stamps on my hiking trip... :( |

Its the cascades. runs through washington.
I agree the rockies are awesome. Ive been through them in Canada and America. Banff was gorgeous. Mountains in general rule.
I wish my camera hadnt died. I hiked Si at 3am to catch the sunrise and the sun rose from behind me and I was staring right at Mt.Rainier in the distance as the sun hit the glaciers and snow and it turned blood red...coolest morning ever. And the camera DIED!!@# |

| Orbax |
