There are several adventures that have been on my bucket list for what seems like forever, but it is closer to forty years. Two were planted in my psyche by author Colin Fletcher when he wrote books about his 1958 walk from the bottom to the top of California and his book about hiking the length of the Grand Canyon in 1963. Those books placed both the Pacific Coast Trail and a rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon as life goals. Other treks I want to experience are the 800-mile Hayduke Trail through the Colorado Plateau and the granddaddy hike in the US, the 2,190-mile Appalachian Trail. Other adventure dreams are cycling the US coast to coast, summiting Mount Everest, though pictures of the crowded peak make it less and less appealing, and the four-day Inca Trail hike at elevation ending with entry to Machu Picchu.
