Alaska
Since 2006 I have been visiting a different place in Alaska each year, and hope to continue doing so.
2006: Wrangel/St Elias NP, Seward, and Valdez
2007: Homer and Kachemak Bay State Park
Cooper Spur is a feature on the north side of Mt. Adams. It makes for a good dayhike. I car camped below at the Cloud Cap campground so I could get an early start. The hike goes up and up, mostly through sandy terrain devoid of much plant life. But it does get you very close to the Elliott Glacier and some very impressive scenery.
