I have realized that over the past couple of years my wife and I have been spending less and less time hiking and backpacking. The time that we used to spend doing these activities has primarily been replaced by some activities we have chosen, such as raising chickens, bees, and a large garden, and other items we haven't chosen such as fairly major home repair projects. To stay active my wife primarily runs on a treadmill and I jump on the road bike and spend a bit of time on local roads.
The question I have for everyone out there is how do you get the most out of a limited amount of time you can spend hiking, camping, backpacking, etc. I live up in Box Elder County to let you know what is around here. I'm looking for tips on how to pack things for quick getaways, places that can be accessed with short drives. I would like something like a short over night backpacking trip, but at this point it has been so long since I've been in a tent outside of the backyard that any kind of camping would be a step up.
