Super challenging loop graced by ten “46ers” and stunning Adirondack views. Adding Big Slide and Yard to this classic route offers cross-valley views of the route in the morning and evening. Counterclockwise direction because downclimbing the one risky move on Saddleback is no fun for me—rather go up it.

Theodore Roosevelt Nat’l Park
Saturday, August 327.5 mi ✦ 2,085’ climbing ✦ 2,719’ max
A grand figure-eight tour through the wide open prairie and badlands of one of my favorite parks. Fun rolling terrain with a lot of exposure at a hot time of year. Bison (likely during their rut, so extra caution required) and prairie dogs. Elk, coyotes, wild horses, and golden eagles. Impossibly blue mountain bluebirds in the scrub and meadowlarks singing in the low grass. Really a treasure. Many small creek crossings, made tricky by bentonite clay banks, either grabby or greasy.

Tetons Circumnavigation
Friday, August 933.7 mi ✦ 8,165’ climbing ✦ 10,830’ max
Grand loop around the iconic tetons, a mix of some of the most popular trails (though few will be out when we are) and others little used. The summits and lakes of the Tetons are iconic, but the on-the-trail experience is even better with spectacular terrain, runnable high alpine trails, pinch-yourself views, and wildlife that always surprises. Trail closures due to wildlife activity a possibility; gorgeous alternatives available.

The satellite route image above says it all: a classic loop around Mount St Helens (“La-wa-la-clough” or “Loowit”), across varied, roller-coaster terrain. Most rugged of all is the blast zone, picking our way through the rubble from the 1980 eruption. (...but maybe hosting ripe huckleberries and lingering wildflowers?)

A glorious loop through this less visited but equally worthy Southern Utah National Park. Otherworldly views, narrow canyons and sandstone domes and cliffs, waterfalls and pools, and a rich natural and human history. Maybe a little swim to get across one creek, likely welcome at this still-hot time of year. An International Dark Sky Park, so perhaps a very early start to enjoy night sky and await the sunrise? Difficulties include keeping an eye on creek levels; exposure to sun, heat, and lightning; and technical scrambling in spots near Sulphur Creek.

West Arkansas loop through the Ouachita mountains, up and over nine mountains and fording nine streams. The Little Missouri deserving special attention as water levels can get too high for safe crossing. I am a fan of the nearby Ozarks, and this will be my first time in the more mountainous Ouachita National Forest, but still with its share of craggy vistas, cascading creeks, swimming holes, and gorges.
