Bug Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Starting right now? If I had $ to leave the country I'd go south of the equator. The Andes perhaps, or New Zealand. If I could not leave the country it would be Red Rocks and JT with occaisional forays into the White Throne in Mexico. That area is pretty nice except for the fact that water is non-existant. There is also Mt Lemmon and Tauquitz and Suicide that have occasional sunny days if you watch the weather. Â For those bone-chilling weeks that come, Canyonlands is a great place to winter hike. Drop in on Grand Junction and the Monument too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In about a year the State Department is going to take over the airlines’ no-fly list, which means you will have to apply to the government for permission to leave the country. No shit.

Peter_Puget Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 RuMr –  In the US =>Go hike the Muir Trail with the Family - no wait little one may be too little. Hike part of the Muir trail and hang out in Meadows and then Tahoe. Rent a cabin at Echoe Lake for a month or two.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobo Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 done that before...it was rad...kinda why i keep leaning towards heading back there... i like val'de aosta in italy as well...I know that's not spelled right... VDA is rawkin! I love that place. Food's great, too. But judging by the amount of steep waterfalls around the valley, I'd think it'd be more of a winter paradise for an ice climber.  PS: Valle d'Aosta is the Italian spelling  PPS: You draggin' the younglings, too? How old are they, if you are taking them? Splitting your time between the south of France and northern/north central Italy would be an awesome way to get in some great climbing, fabulous scenery, righteous history, and see cool things that the kids may (or may not) appreciate some day.  My wife and I are planning a 'return sabbatical' of sorts when the kids hit about 5 and 7 yoa. Taking 3 or 4 months off, gonna rent a villa with a car in S France and N Italy, and live la dolce vita for a couple of months in each country.  It's our way of compromising... my wife loves France, I grew up in Italy (it's not her fault she likes France...). Ciao, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
