Hey folks! Just joined up a couple days ago, haven't had a chance to post 'til today thanks to my crazy schedule this week, but wanted to poke in here & say hi to everybody. Looks like an awesome site!
So, a li'l about me:
First, my name is Josh, and I live in Roy. Lived in Utah for pretty much my entire life (for better or worse :haha: ).
Just started hiking last summer, and loved it! Was sad to see the summer end, although it gave way to another new outdoor activity for this year: snowboarding! Loved snowboarding as well, and even still have all of my bones in the same number/place as before (although I learned the hard way to wear a helmet... stupid ice!) Unfortunately a short snowboarding season this year to get me started, but it means that it's time to get up & hit the trails again, and I can't wait!
Spent all my time last summer hiking up around Mt. Ogden/Snowbasin, and really enjoy the area up there (especially since it's so close to home and such awesome scenery), but I'm looking forward to getting out & exploring some new trails here along the Wasatch this summer too. (Especially since I just got a new GPS I'm itchin' to go out & play with :mrgreen: ) Think I'm going to start hitting the Beus Canyon trail as soon as we get another nice weekend (don't know if I'll make the entire hike to the top just yet 'til I get back in good trail shape after the winter!), and I'd love to try North Skyline up to Ben Lomond this summer too... another long trek (well, for a relative noob like me hehe), but looks like it'll be an awesome hike.
I usually hike alone, although that's not necessarily by choice -- I'm just single & haven't found any good hiking buddies yet (lifelong or otherwise ;) ). Would love to find some folks to hike with; who knows, may just find that here!
Well, great to be here... look forward to chattin' with y'all over in the Hiking (and, who knows, maybe Snowboarding?) forum!
