Below is a short list of some of the hikes I would like to do. I obviously can't do all of them this year, but I would like to try to knock out a good chunk of them, heck I'd be thrilled if I got to a third of them. Let me know if you would like to join me on some of these and we can try to plan for them this summer. For the longer PCT sections, I might go solo, but who knows. Probably can't get to much of the PCT this year anyhow, but I can certainly dream.
