Looking for recommendations in France
I have 8 days (starting sunday) to get from Macon to Strassbourg by car, and would love some suggestions about things to do in the meantime. I travel by car, but also love hiking. I have my tent (love wild camping/bivouac) and everything I need to sustain myself. I also have my packraft with me, so suggestions for rafting (no white water, only flat) would be welcome as well.
I don't have a specific budget but cheaper is always better, especially for accommodations.
I was thinking about maybe going up one of the mountain ranges or even the alps (I have alpine hiking experience, but still a beginner).
Looking forward to your suggestions on things to do in this region, especially towards hiking/packrafting. Open for anything else as well, the crazier the better.

Areas near black canyon
I plan on taking a week long trip driving from Oklahoma to go see Black Canyon of the Gunnison/Curecanti in September. Any ideas for areas I can add on? Telluride area/Weminuche/South San Juan’s wouldn’t add too many miles.
Any input/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Cuello del Cilindro -> Ibón de Marboré, Mont perdido glacier, Ordesa & Mont Perdido National park, Spain
Hi everyone, i'm doing a hike next week in the pyrenees and I want to know if anybody knows the current conditions / has done this part recently.
I've gone from cuello del cilindro down to ibón de Marboré before but it was in late September. At that time I was able to go around on the boulder fields and go down the chimney with no issues, but because I'm going in early August I'm worried I'll need to bring crampons & piolet to cross.
Would really appreciate the information!

Looking for a 4-5 day NH hike that's a good intro to the White Mountains — not Pemi Loop or Presidential Traverse
My husband and I are considering hiking all 48 NH 4,000-footers. We planned to start with the Pemi Loop, but we're postponing that until the Lincoln Woods Trailhead reopens. We're also saving the Presidential Traverse for whenever we are ready to take a break from tent camping.
Can anyone recommend a backpacking trip, multiple day hikes, or a combo of the two that fits these criteria:
1. **Different peaks** — something that doesn't overlap with the Pemi Loop or Presi Traverse.
2. **4-5 days** — that's how much time we have in New Hampshire.
3. **A solid intro to the White Mountains** — my husband winter-hiked Mt. Washington a few times about 10 years ago, but that's about the extent of our experience there.
A bit about us: we're semi-experienced backpackers (my husband more so than me). We recently completed the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island — our first backpacking trip in a while (we're usually just day hikers). That trail didn't have much elevation gain, so we're also hoping this trip gives us a realistic sense of what we're in for with the 48, especially since we're in our 50s and want to be informed as we take this on.
Thank you for any thoughts and suggestions!

Looking to add a tent to my collection
Hi all, I currently own 2 tents: a naturehike opalus 3 and desert fox 2. Not a fan of either one, but I got them for free.
Anyway, I’m looking for a new tent and I’m between getting a lanshan 1 or a more wind resistant tent. The durston x-dome 1+ is my dream all round tent, but it’s too expensive. the x-mid is also to expensive because of import taxes which is why I’m considering the lanshan 1.
I live in norway and camp at 1500m altitude and need something that can withstand 20m/s winds and rain. Will the lanshan 1 be sufficient or should I look into something else? Budget is around 200-300 dollars, but less is always better.
any help is appreciated

Odd and long question? I have a group of three, were looking for nice, very good views, and cheap hikes that are still challenging. Rookie level gear (mostly DIY), looking in the Washington (Eastern if possible), North Idaho and just Idaho in general, not cross the border into Canada, Montana (Western), Oregon and Wyoming. If you have any good ideas please let us know, anything in the overnight to five day area, any season, all 18yrs old.
