Hi everyone. I love the outdoors but last year i realized i didn't get out much. This year as part of my weight loss journey i figured i should strive for at least one new hike per month. Im from S. Cal. and theres lots of places i have not explored. This is my first time starting a thread on here. If you would like to join me lets try posting pictures mileage of hikes. May be we can motivate each to get outdoors and be more active. :)

    I love this idea!!! Not sure exactly what this will end up looking like for me. I live in Mongolia and travel a lot, (and our temps are super cold here) but know that with Thailand travel this month I can start strong and see what to do from there with some cool pics, so I'll give it a try. I miss the trails in America. Missouri has some awesome trails and I'll be back home there in November for a short visit and would love to hike there again for a while.. so this will ensure I am ready for it.

    I live in North Alabama, at the end of the Appalachian range. We have a beautiful state park that I live near with great trails. This was a resolution of mine as well. Definitely down.

    Hmmmm, want to join, love to hike but am a bit of a fair weather hiker! January and Febuary will be my big challenging months to get them in but I'm in. The places I like to hike (Mount Rainier) are buried in the snow currently but I know there are others around!

    Count me in!
    I too have been wanting to get out there more. I live really close to the LT in Vermont. We usually try to do an over night at one of the cabins a couple of times a year. It's a bit cold for that now, but there are a lot of other trails around me. I look forward to posting pictures of my adventures.

    What distance do you guys typically hike?

    This is awesome, love the idea. I will use this as training as I want to hike up Machu Picchu in the next year or two.

    As above, are there any expected distances or elevations for our hike?

    I'm so down for this! What a great idea!

    I live near Mt. Rainier, as well. We've got a short snow-shoe hike planned for this weekend.

    I can't wait to see pictures of all the beautiful places everyone will go!

    This challenge is something I could do. My husband is always trying to get me on the trails. I love state/national parks.
