Can't say I really care for them. Being a California girl 100% I'm not terribly fond of being out in the cold for so long! I’ve tried cross-country and down hill skiing.

I used to race, way back, and it was a yearly winter sport for most of my life. Talk of backpacking and bicycling reminded me of how much I loved racing through the woods or taking breaks in the hushed silence. Haven't been in a couple of years (very young children and long skis don't mix). I need to get back into cross-country skiing.

I used to bicycle a lot. Did a 100 ride through Tahoe a few years back that was spectacular. I'd like to go back and do that same route on the motorcycle one day. I'd like to get to Sequoia one year too. Had the chance to do that as part of a ride which would have started here in Vegas, went up to Glacier Nat'l park, through western Canada and down the Pacific Coast Highway, but I had to pass on it because at the time I was being a good worker bee where I was employed. Now I think I should have stuck to my plans and gone on the road trip. I’m not much of a backpacker. I used to bicycle a lot. Did a 100 ride through Tahoe a few years back that was spectacular.

So gorgeous! We've also done San Gorgonio (tallest peak in So Cal) via the Dry Lake trail. Do like backpacking?

I can get to places that most people don't go because it's "too much work." It is so quiet when there are no cars, few people... peaceful. And campgrounds are always near water, so there are those relaxing sounds, too. The 3 mile rule: you'll hardly see anyone 3 miles in on the trail (unless it's a really popular spot!). I usually have to plan these trips, though, so when things get really overwhelming, yoga is my release! I love stretching and the deep breathing is very cleansing :) Been subscribed to your blog since James commented over on <a href="http://dmiracle.com/copywriting/id-like-to-blog-but-i-just-cant-write/" rel="nofollow">Dawud Miracle's blog</a>, and really love your content, guys! It's so easy to read and very engrossing (much to the neglect of the other work I need to be doing). I love going backpacking.

My favorite places to go out here in Vegas is the Valley of Fire or up to Red Rock. The landscape is amazing and I always feel refreshed after riding through it. Nothing like a 100 mile day on the bike to wash away the stress. @Murr: there must be something magical about red rocks.

I guess the silence can be a where.. but if we are looking for a specific location then... Luck would have it that I live 5 minutes (driving) from work. So home and work are almost the same. To get away I like to drive north to Sedona AZ. In the red rock I feel the pressures of the world melt away as I dine on great food and drink good wine.
