Mt. St. Helens
Mt. St. Helens is the volcano in south-western Washington state that spectacularly

side, and here are the pictures of my trip.

Torres del Paine National Park -- Chile
A bunch of us took a quick trip down to Patagonia, with main destinations of
Parc Nacional Torres del Paine in Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. You too
can read all about it.
Tikal National Park -- Guatemala
Not exactly a hiking trip, though the one day at Tikal was all on foot, but a very nice trip nonetheless. Read here.
