13. Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana

Did a hike to Sunburst Lake where I caught a bunch of native cutthroat trout. On the hike out we camped on a peak that was so small and steep I had a difficult night because I kept sliding down the slope. Finally anchored myself to the ground with tent stakes attached to my sleeping bag.

Other great hikes:

Alaska. Four-mile hike with my wife for our 25th wedding anniversary. We hiked to a forest service cabin near Juneau, situated on a beautiful lake where we did some canoing and fishing. Saw a black bear on the other side of the lake our first night there.

Grand Gulch in Utah. Definitely worth doing because the hike takes you through a canyon that contains many Anasassi ruins.

Glacier National Park. Hiked the Belly River to Glenn Lake, Crossley Lake, and Lake Mokawanis. Mokawanis has the most beautiful campsite I've ever seen. Had my 14 y.o. son with me on that hike and we had a very uncomfortable encounter with a large bear. Had a bit of a stand-off, the bear approaching to within 40 feet. We finally backed down the trail, bush-whacked around the bear, and then got back on the trail.
