It's that Time of Year...

Actually, it's always that time of year. I am that dork who has her short and long term goals posted on the refrigerator year round. But since this is a hiking blog and I know some of my handful of like-minded readers enjoy stuff like this, here's my 2014 goals list.

1. Buy a house by spring. Cough.
2. Run the San Francisco Marathon on July 27th.
3. Start the Court of Master Sommeliers program in March (now that I passed my WSET Advanced!) and get certified.
4. Summer Hiking (let's face it, the rest of this stuff is just filling time until the snow melts).

       The big hikes:

• July - lead return trip to Mount Adams w/Steve and Helena
• Summer Shasta climb, nontechnical Clearcreek route 
• August Enchantments Traverse
• August Climb Mount Daniel 
• August/Sept Tank Lakes via Necklace Valley
• Aug/Sept Mt Baker/Shuksan long weekend: Ptarmigan Trail to the Portals; Chowder ridge or
  Chain Lakes Trail above Bagly Lakes; Heliotrope Ridge
• Aug/Sept/Oct Squamish/Garibaldi long weekend trip

      Any of these:

• Partial Bailey Range Traverse, Olympics
• September Rachel Lake/Rampart Ridge/Alta tarns - requires fording creek
• Mt Hood Hogsback
• Tattoosh Peak/ Plummer, Rainier
• Spray Park, Mt Rainier - off trail to alpine lake below Observation Rock 
• Yellow Aster Butte, Shuksan
• Vesper Peak scramble - very late season
• Matterhorn, Wallowas

• Maple Pass Loop, North Cascades
• Goat Lake, North Cascades 
• Barrett Spur, Mt Hood - late season
• Minotaur Lake, Stevens Pass
• High Pass
• Hidden Lake Peak
• Spectacle Lake backpack

I've got 2015 planned, too, but I'll spare you.
