These are all the hikes that we have or hope to complete sometime in the near future. There's quite a bit of hikes in this list, so I know it won't happen this season, but the intent is for us to have a shortened place to pick hikes from instead of all the other websites out there. These hikes are taylored to what we want to do and in our hike difficulty.
The "Difficulty" is calculated to give distance the highest exponential weight, followed by elevation, and then there's an adder for the steepness of this hike. The equation is totally made up and the math behind it is just what seemed right to sort some of the hikes at any given point. I might revise and change the equation as we add more hikes.
