Hi all,
We are taking our honeymoon the last week in June. We'll have 9 nights and 9 full days at our destination. We would like to do a five to six day backpacking trip (preferably a loop or possibly point to point, not an out and back) and then spend the last three days relaxing at a hotel or resort nearby (and still in the wilderness as much as possible). We'd really like to be in the mountains, and I have an aversion to the desert. We're from Maryland and have already explored much of what is near here - we'd like something new.
The problem is, many of the destinations we've looked at are not very accessible in June, and are still just barely coming out of the winter - the Canadian Rockies, Rocky Mountain NP, northern Washington, Glacier, etc. When it comes to Latin America (we're open to another country, as long as airfare is affordable), we can't seem to find any longer backpacking routes - with five to six days we're looking at something from a 30 mile very strenuous hike to a 60 mile moderate hike. The 40 mile range would be ideal. ANY IDEAS??? Thank you!
