Proposed Dream Hike: Start a hike from the south end of the Manzano Mountains in New Mexico, through the Sandia Mountains, and northward into the Rockies in Colorado. There will be gaps where the hiking won't be through mountains (some private land that has to be bypassed, persistent snow), but much of the trip can be in high Rockies.

good luck-merry xmas
Chris,
This is for you!!!
I read this article in Backpacker magazine and instantly thought of you. There's this guy who is a photographer for Backpacker magazine now because he started this way - by winning a dream hike and submitting the photos. Now he gets paid in his dream job. Check it out, the deadline is Jan 15th.
