My Own 100 Hikes

I saw an article in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune last month ago about a guy who finished 100 hikes in just seven months. It seemed like a worthy goal. So I decided I'd adopt that as my goal this year: 100 hikes in 2010.

I've already finished 20 hikes this year. I won't put in recaps of all of them, but I think I will post about a number of them.

My definition for a hike is a three-mile minimum in a day, taking me someplace I could not otherwise drive to on pavement, and being in a general "wild" state. Walking around a developed park won't count. But walking in Griffith Park on a trail or dirt road to get to the Hollywood sign? Yeah, that one counts.

  2. Nice of you to stop by!

    And thanks for the invitation. I tend to do a lot of my hikes sort of spur of the moment, though. Today, for no particuarly reason, I hiked a chunk of the Altadena Crest Trail. May never walk that area again, but I'm glad I did!
