As for other trips, the choices are almost overwhelming. Thirty years ago as a teenager I actually hiked some of the Narrows at Zion and it would be really cool to go back. The Grand Canyon will probably be a family trip one day and Yosemite has been on my to-do list for years. The only problem is that I live in freakin' Michigan so none of these trips are easy to do. Add in job and family and it severely impairs my ability to explore all the cool places in this country. We're still riding our fame from Whitney but we're definitely thinking about the next adventure.

Dave, does your family enjoy hiking and the outdoors as well? I ask because that solved a huge logistical problem for me. My wife loves to hike and camp, and our daughter learned early (age 3). For the past seven years we've been able to focus a couple of family vacations each year around visiting and hiking national parks around the country. I still get away solo each year to spend a week killing myself in Death Valley, and Whitney will now be an annual event for me, but many of the really cool places I've hiked in the country have been courtesy of a vacation with a family of hikers. No Orlando for us. Well, only a few times . . .
