1. Grand Canyon
2. More Grand Canyon
3. Still more Grand Canyon

Since I currently hike there about once every 7-10 days, next year I'm hoping for even more time below the rim. Specifically, I want to get off trail even more and climb a few buttes, etc. Scrambled to the top of Cardenas Butte on Christmas day...more of that would be fun!

4. There is an outside chance of a hike in New Hampshire in October, when I fly back east for my son's wedding.

AWWW.... I like Tuckerman's just for the challenge........Mount Katahdin??? This is very cool meeting another New Englander here in AZ. I think I've met 3 in ten years. The deciding question is are you a Yankees fan or a Red Sox fan????
