Description


EDITED 10/8/08

I'm posting this trip so we can start some dialogue about it. Here's the problem:

1) ******I am working on getting more then 4 slots******..

2) The reservation process is a lottery, and the application looks more difficult then filing taxes.
3) We are not guaranteed to get any of the sites/itineraries that we apply for.

Here is what I'm am thinking:

I'm going to go ahead and fill out an application (they don't accept them until APRIL 2009). The cost is $30. We will get a response by the end of MAY 2009.
I have several routes picked out which I will start posting on a thread. If my application is picked and we get a route we want, then we go.

If my application isn't picked, or if we don't get a suitable hike, I'll eat the $30 and we regroup. Options then would be:

1) Doing Glacier NP anyway
2) Wind River Range
3) Sawtooth Idaho
4) PCT (I would prefer Washington State)
5) Yellowstone NP
6) Or wherever the heck we want to spend 6 days hiking out west.....

I will be posting trip itineries for discussion during the next few days. Suggestions and comments are welcomed.

I plan on going the first or second week in August.
