Hikes of 2014

Latest start yet to my hiking year. With my work schedule, 100 hikes is obviously nearly unattainable for me, anymore. There are too many variables that keep me away from the trails, nowadays. Still, no sense starting up a whole 'nother blog. And I like the idea of having 100 as the real goal for the year. Who knows? Maybe I'll find a better way to balance my work, family, and hiking, and other hobbies in a way that will let me get back up to 100, again?

As with the last few years, I'll post with new hikes at the top, and add hyperlinks to the trail write-ups once I've managed to get those written.
