About my ratings

Spectacular - let's go now!
One of my favorites
Enjoyed it
Glad I went -- Once
Not worth the time

I really like mountain peaks, lakes, difficult hikes and cross-country trekking. Keep this in mind when looking at how I rate my hikes. I have never been on a hike that I haven't enjoyed, but the more difficult the more I seem to like the adventure.
