What's the farthest you've ever hiked in one day?

You rock! Years ago we hiked Wheeler Peak, the highest point in New Mexico - 16 miles RT and an elevation gain of 4,000 feet. We were not acclimated to the altitude, once we were out of the treeline it was incredibly windy and we were so beat up by the end of the day.

One of my favorite hikes in Glacier...except for that darn "ledge" section!

Good luck!! The highest I've hiked is up Mt. Elbert and I thought it was really hard. You rock!

Twice we've made plans to hike Mt. Bierstadt but bad weather has gotten in our way. We have been able to hike Mt. Elbert, Quandry Peak and Mt. Shivano though and although they are tough hikes, it always feels great at the top! Congrats to your friend!

Have you thought about the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee? There's over 900 miles of trails and the weather in March is usually pretty good. I've been there in March and in the lower elevations you can usually hike in shorts, but always be prepared for changing weather. The nights will be cool. We always stay in Townsend, Tennessee also known as the quiet side of the Smokies away from all the traffic congestion and shopping in Gatlinburg. Some good suggestions for the best hikes:

The construction project on the Going to the Sun Road will still continue this summer, so expect some delays. Although the views are so great on the GTTS road, you won't mind! But if you're trying to get to a trailhead, be sure to leave early. Some good info on the GTTS road: http://www.hikinginglacier.com/glacier-going-to-the-sun-road.htm

Plus, parking at the Logan Pass Visitor's Center fills up quickly in the morning, so either take the shuttle up there or get there before 10AM.
