Here's the list of hikes I did in 2010: 113 hikes over the course of the year. I've just started another page with the 2011 hikes. Of course, as of today, there's all of one hike on that page!
I've got hyperlinks from most of the hikes listed here to my corresponding trip write-ups. Some of the earlier hikes were never written up, however. But most of those, I hiked again later, so you can find info on those hikes further down on the list.
Mileage is approximate, based on published reports of hike distances and estimates of additional distances I covered on that day.
