Backpacker is recommending these destinations:
Lassen Volcanic National Park, CA | Pigsah National Forest, NC | Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, MT | Dome Land Wilderness, CA | Mahoosuc Mountains, ME | Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario | Owyhee Uplands, ID/OR
I know Lassen and the ‘Bob’, but not much about the rest.
Dome Land, with 94,695 acres at the southern tail of the Sierra Nevada, is markedly drier than Yosemite. This, plus the lower elevations (3,000 to 9,400 feet), makes it a good choice for spring and fall, when snow still clings to high-mountain locales. …
This high-desert region’s obscurity is a big selling point. Spilling out of southwest Idaho into Nevada and Oregon, the Owyhee Uplands comprise one of the least developed areas in the Lower 48. Juniper-covered plateaus set atop sagebrush tablelands create a sense of limitless open space.
Snowy mountains line the horizon, and the many-tentacled Owyhee and Bruneau Rivers groove the underlying basalt and rhyolite. “The Owyhee is as good as any desert landscape in the U.S.,” says Sheldon Bluestein, author of Exploring Idaho’s High Desert. “It’s national-park-worthy.” …



Last time I checked, Algonquin Park was in Canada, not the USA.
Cheers!!
Ha. … And the editor of this site (me) is Canadian.
I’ll fix that in the original post.
Recently I have created an application for android mobile phones just to do that: draw a mountain panorama and name all peaks in northern hemisphere.
You can read about it in here: http://www.instantpanorama.com/
Would you be interested in testing it?
Looks very cool, Chris.
I don’t have an Android device, however. Cannot test.
I just made a blog about hiking in New Zealand. I love the design of your one-well done! You have obviously been adding to it for a long time. Mine is very new http://www.greenhollowshikes.com
Great photos. I’m subscribed by RSS and will be checking all your new posts.
… I lived for a year in Christchurch, a HUGE fan of NZ tramping.
I just came back to bookmark your site-thank you!
Thank you, that’s encouraging. I will go and add some more now-just for you!
