To Do in 2025

[LarryBoy]

Not a bad year. No fourteeners, and I spent a lot of time in the San Juans at the expense of the Raggeds and Flat Tops, but still a good time. Squeezed in ten backpacking trips thus far, and hopefully one more next weekend.

Day adventures:

Climb a fourteener
After-work XC ski - 3x
Flat Tops day hike or backpacking trip
Ouray Perimeter Trail

Backpacking:

Week-long Uintas trip
SE Utah trip with friends
At least one overnight packrafting trip
A section of the Colorado Trail
Raggeds Wilderness trip

Car Camping:

SE Utah trip with friends

Random goals:

Swim in a lake above 12k

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?)

Checked everything off of my to do list! We also backpacked the Tombstones in the Yukon and ended up doing the Kunisaki Trek in Japan. Oh and in July I retired at 51yo, very happy with that decision.

Drank too much coffee, left SE Utah (again) for W. Colorado, and will probably go back to Utah before long. Pretty exciting stuff.
