Awesome! Sounds like you found a new weekend activity.
My husband and I used to hike/backpack quite a bit. We did about 25 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail (goes from the Mexican boarder to the Canadian boarder) a few years back. It was awesome. I would love to train for the whole hike but who has the time? We have also hiked Half Dome at Yosemite, with about 5 billion other people. And my favorite was across Catalina Island. About 22 miles from Avalon to Two Harbors. Beautiful. And no one around most of the time.
The thing I love about backpacking is that you really have to limit what you bring along. Every oz. you pack matters, especailly when you're on a long hike.
