We have picked up on the idea of hiking as something to do that we would both enjoy. We have done several hikes around the island such as the West Coast Trail, Mt.Work and various other small but enjoyable adventures. Now we have turned our eyes across the oceans to Asia.. and down the continent to Peru.
In Asia you have the largest mountains there.. now climbing Everest would be a blast, I would probably be dead at the 3rd maybe 4th base camps. So I have turned my eyes to the Annapurna circuit. A 3 week hike up some amazing mountains in Nepal. That is our end goal.. it reaches an elevation of 18,000 feet!! So to build up to that we are starting with some local hikes in Colorado and down to Peru. One cant just run up 18k of mountain and not expect to fall over dead!! haha
The Inca Trail is our first major hike.. its a 4 day hike with a guide thru some of the most amazing country you will ever see and the end point is Machu Picchu! So we are planning this one for early next year before the rains and the nasty weather comes along.
Happy hunting

i so want to go Colorado Springs, Colorado and see that area and the surrounding area. i have a friend that lives there and they have told me i should see The Garden Of The Gods. It is supposed to be amazing. If you do go there you really need to check that out.
