And where do you spend most of your time? I'll start: Calgary, Canada. Spend most of my outdoor time in the central Canadian Rockies, mainly Kananaskis Country and Banff National Park.

Austin, Texas. The outdoorsy stuff here is too urban unless you're off at Enchanted Rock or something. I'll hop a bus down to Coahuila three times a year for rappelling, dancing and drinking.

Hi! I live in North San Diego County and while I've only been living independently here for about a year and haven't been to any hiking spots, I got my scuba cert recently and can drive about an hour north or south to get to good dive spots.

Right now I'm in an idling bus in the Poulsbo, Washington Transit Center. In general I'm from "The Pacific Northwest", which includes Portland, Montana and Northern California.

East Tennessee is a good place to be for outdoor stuff. Especially with the AT right next door.

Norfolk, UK, a flat part of the world. However, I live in the same country as the isle of Skye so I go there every April/May if I get the chance Top hiking destination that I haven't done is the Semien Mountains in Ethiopia, would also love to go back to America and hike in the Rockies.

Vancouver Island. Outdoor time is mostly spent ocean kayaking or car camping. Straight of Georgia/Desolation Sound/Broken Group Islands(Pac. Rim National Park) for kayaking, and various Forest Service Recreation sites W/NW of Campbell River for car camping.

I live in Pittsburgh. Appalachia is beautiful but you have to sort of go off the beaten path to really explore it on foot because in Pennsylvania "outdoors activity" means hunting so that's all its really set up for But my fav place to hike etc is either California or Hawaii

I hiked part of the AT at the Delaware water gap last weekend, and I've been meaning to visit the pine barrens. Mostly I just stick to the local parks though

Northern VA. I've hiked on part of the Appalachian trail and some of the parks around here. I recently joined a DC Urbex group so I'm looking forward to doing that whenever a new meet is scheduled.

People argue with me about my nationality and insist I am Canadian. The Quebecuois just assume I am one of their own and start babbling at me in "French." If so many people insist that I am an Eastern Canadian, I must be. And all of my Canukistani time has been spent in Montreal. Must be from there. And I walked up the mountain once with a nice view of a derelict parking garage. My rigorous life as a Northern outdoorsman whose veins flow with maple sap has prevented me ever needing take advantage of glorious socialized healthcare.

I'm from Oregon and like to try and get lost to see how long I can last survival camping (not very long, as it turns out). Oregon's great for it because while it's not impossible to get lost, it's pretty difficult to put yourself in real danger.

I'm from Chicago, Illinois. We have some decent parks in northern Illinois, and just across the border in Wisconsin. I've hiked Kettle Moraine and Starved Rock, though my favorite is backpacking in the Porcupine Mountains in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

I did the big loop over 5 days 8 years ago. The 17 miles along the lake were really rad. Also you should go hike pictured rocks also in the UP. Super nice.

Originally from Michigan (west coast) then moved to Chicago for 10 years and just moved to seattle this summer. Being less than an hour from legitimate mountains and wilderness is the best thing ever.

Colorado Springs. We have 3 city parks that have extensive hiking and climbing (bolted and trad routes), plus tons of National Forest nearby, and also a pretty neat mountain. If I'm not hanging out here, I'm up in the ranges throughout the state. Saturday is a backpack in RMNP; woot!

We headed out of bear lake two Sundays ago to ski. The skinning was nice, decent amount of snow.

Not sure where we're going; we've done Loch Vale before as a snow camp and it's pretty fun, but really windy. I've only ever been to the Loch in winter and Longs in fall, so I'm sort of thinking about some new scenery.

Memphis. I spend the majority of my time in front of my computer. When I want to hike, I go west to the Arkansas sticks for a weekend with my friends or east to my kin in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee.

I live in Kanab, Utah. I'm convinced we've got some of the best hiking in the world, or at least America, in my backyard. If I wasn't such an antisocial goon sperg I'd show you guys around.
