Our highly subjective top 10 for 2006. These are the trekking adventures we feel most likely to "change your life".
If you have any opinion (especially if you can recommend a better hike than any of these) leave a comment at the bottom of this post. In fact, we would happily post your own Top 10.
UPDATE: The “California is the Center of the Outdoor Universe” crowd want John Muir Trail to be #1. (They hint at a bias towards Canadian hikes because besthike is based out of Canadia.)

We have hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, the Wonderland Trail, the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, the John Muir Trail and the Grand Canyon.
We are about to embark on the West Coast Trail and will let you know how it ranks.
Cheers,

Thanks.
And let us know how you are affected by storm damage from winter 2006.
(Just checking some of you Adventures now, too.)

I would add the Thunder River/Deer Creek Loop (Grand Canyon) hike. It is a very demanding and beautiful 26 to 43 (w/side trips) mile hike from the North Rim to the river and back. Awsome scenary, beautiful river, creeks, and falls and a wounderful play area in the Deer Ceek Narows. To enjoy the fullest, plan on 5 night/6 day trip which would include a layover day in Deer Creek. - rw
