I met a Polish girl in Yellowstone my first summer up there and she wanted to see the rest of the country, so we took our park passes, and went to Zion, Arches, Canyon Lands, The Grand Canyon, and Mesa Verde. We camped in national forests, showererd at truck stops, ate food we stole from our employee dining room, and traveled for 4 months on like $600. It is easy if you dont mind being kinda smelly.

Not really, hairy legs though. Like I said, we showered at truck stops, or snuck ito campgrounds with showers most of the time.

The summer before last I went with my grandparents to see the Canadian Rockies. Stayed in Alberta around Banf most of the time, but ventured into B.C. a bit too. We were rental car/hotel-ing it, but were nearly always in small towns that didn't take away from the beauty of the mountains. I fuckin loved it up there, we went on plenty of hikes to some of the summits. Man. Beautiful country. I'm thinking about backpacking the Apalachian in the next few years. I'm not ready for it now but if I get myself into shape I could probably do it the spring after next.
EDIT: Also I don't really have any real backpacking experience (Just 3-9 hour mountain hikes) so i'll have to find someone to go it with me that knows what they're doin, but I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard.

Colorado is the shit. Lived here my whole life and the only other place I'd like to live is Portland.
My boss just purchased a 5 acre piece of land with a small house on it about 2 hours west of Denver. Last mile is all dirt road. It's fucking nice.
And the stars up there........leaves no doubt why the people of the past worshiped the stars.

There are a few hardcore trekkers here, and a lot of smaller kine adventurers, too. here's me in wyoming a few years ago. spent 3 days in yellowstone.

that was taken on the powder river pass on the cloud peak skyway, here http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2165/travel.html
