• Here are a few places that we've hiked in each of the years since 2004:
• Beartrap Fork/Desolation Lake overlook
• Circle-All Peak (sometimes at the beginning, but usually at the end of the season)
• Mill-D/Dog Lake/Butler Fork "loop"
• Willow Heights, as the "traditional" last hike of the season.
• Catherine Pass, but via different routes.
• Twin Lakes, also via different routes.

• In these same years, we've also done a number of hikes just once, including:  Bowman Fork, Green's Basin, Deaf Smith Canyon, Bell's Canyon and Furguson Canyon.  (There are a few other "once-ers", but these were sometimes due to threatening weather...)

• If you go on every hike for the season, you will have hiked about 60 miles and taken about 140,000 to 160,000 steps - more, if you have short legs!

• You will probably weigh less and have lower blood pressure after going on these hikes than you would have if you hadn't gone on any of them!

Who's been on the hikes:

The following people have come along on a Wednesday Night Hike at least once in the calendar year noted.  While most of those participating are amateur radio operators, some were not, but usually accompanied by a ham:  Those people are noted in parentheses next to the person with whom they were associated.
