Twenty-four (24) nominated hikes to date are listed below for eventual voting to decide the "The Ten United States Day Hikes You Must Do" (TTUSDHYMD -- unfortunately, the critical (!) underline for "M" cannot be placed in the thread subject above).

Agnew Meadows to Lake Ediza, Mammoth Lakes, California

Angel's Landing, Zion NP, Utah

Cactus to Clouds Trail, Mt. San Jacinto, Palm Springs, California

Crow Pass, Alaska

(All links above are to posts in the "FUN NEW GAME!" thread in the "General Discussions" forum where the respective hikes were first nominated. Many of those posts have much more descriptive information about the hike. And some posts following the nomination post may also have information about the nominated hike. Finally, it should be recognized that MUCH more informtion about any individual hike may be found online beyond "Whitney Zone".)

Good links, Bob. It would sure be nice if we could have a picture from some point in each of those hikes.

You might want to change Longs Peak to Colorado, not California. A California-heavy list doesn't need any additional help!

How about Mount Haystack in the Adirondacks, NY?

Here is my recent trip report: My rationale is in the report!

I did Haystack one winter with a friend who was finishing her Winter 111 peaks on Haystack. We did Basin first, then Haystack and back to the trailhead. It was a long day.

nyhiker -- I've copied and pasted your nomination into a separate post on the other thread ("FUN NEW GAME!"). I'd prefer to leave that thread as the sole source of nominations.

Steve, I still can't figure how to post a picture. However here are three links to pictures that might work. The last picture for Rubicon Trail is rather generic.

RenoFrank: None of those Facebook links work right now. Do they for anyone else?

If I can get to the pics, I'll embed them in RF's post.

Did not work for me either. I guess RF needs to change his Facebook security settings.
