Paria River - Arizona,Utah

Paria River My Favorite Places to Backpack Places & Travel

This is one of my favorite hikes of all time. It can be done in two and half days if you push hard, but it's better done in a leisurely 4 day 3 night jaunt. Don't go in the early spring, the water is too cold to make it enjoyable. In the early summer or early fall is best -- tho watch for flash flooding in early fall. It's dramatic and gorgeous and every corner you turn, you get a new canyon. Fabulous.

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument My Favorite Places to Backpack Places & Travel

Too many great hikes in this area to count, but some of my favorites are Death Hollow and Coyote Gulch. Either one of those will give you a real (tho totally different) taste of the Escalante basin. Coyote is a little longer, but more traditional... while Death Hollow gives you a day's worth of hiking over the sandstone along the Boulder Mail Trail.

Does the Vancouver Island still have that Suspension Bridge. I remember when I was little I went to Vancouver for my brothers hockey tournament and we went on a hike one day and had to go over the scariest suspension bridge. Im pretty sure I cried.

It had that bridge the last time I was there, but that was in '89. I assume it must still be there, how else to cross those ravines?

Great list! I'm a big fan of Montana and the Utah wilderness, and you've got great selections. I suggest everyone try every one of these spots out. You'll get everything from rain forests to the beautiful desolation of the red-rock Utah deserts.

In light of the upcoming basketball season, the anticipation of the World Series and the intense Sunday battles on the gridiron, I began to wonder… No, not how many wins my San Diego Chargers will win this year, or if the Yankees can win it all. The question I’m pondering about is… which players in these 3 professional sports are the most selfish?
