To Do in 2025

[LarryBoy]

Time for everyone's favorite annual BCP tradition? What you got on tap for 2025? Dream big!

Got a trip to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness planned? Gonna hike over 250 miles this year? Perhaps 2025 is the year you finally send that annoying boulder problem that's been bugging you for aeons! Whatever you've got planned, shout it out here!

2025 is starting to come together.

March- Road trip in Colorado to visit colleges with my son (Durango, Grand Junction, Gunnison).
April/May- Headed to Bhutan for a few weeks, planning to explore a bit but the primary focus is the Laya Gasa Trek over 12 days
Summer- Mostly spent at home in Alaska. Send our oldest off to college
October- Cedar Mesa?
November- Japan to enjoy the fall colors and to do either the Nakahechi or Nakasendo Way trek (anyone done either?)

Hopefully at least one bikepacking trip and one backpacking trip. We'll see what comes together. Hoping to get more miles of cycling in, the past couple years have not been good for time for cycling.

Now as for 2025, not certain as of yet, so see what happens. And always try to pass thru and see / experience new country here in the Western US that have not see or experienced. But do know a few things which are:

1.) Lingering here in the Sonoran Desert near Organ Pioe Cactus NM till Mid February.
2.) Go to Wintercount, a Primitive Skills Gathering, near Florence, Az from February 16th to the 22nd.
3.) Migrate north slowly in the spring from Arizona back to Jackson Hole, Wy. Maybe go north on the GDMBR thru New Mexico and Colorado ... possibly. Visit my brother in May in Denver.
4.) It has now been some years, but most probably just go back into the deep wilds of NW Wyoming and live during the summer. If not then bike tour again in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Possibly see my sister again in Kalispell. And if in Kalispell, do some hiking up in the Bob Marshall Wilderness complex area.
5.) Go to the Rabbitstick Gathering in mid September.
6.) Migrate south, most probably down thru the Rockies and wild country... see what happens, from Jackson Hole Wy to again in the desert near Ajo / Why near Organ Pipe Cactus NM.

Hike, Bike, and Bird!
