Don't miss Rocky Mountain National Park, where a free backcountry permit takes you to a designated campsite at 10,000 feet. The permit system guarantees you solitude and preserves the wilderness for future hikers. The canyon lands of Arizona and Utah present a spectrum of earth tones wider on the second day of your trip than the first. Unlike the mountains, you plunge in and climb out. Wherever you go, bring a light backpacking stove, fueled by white gas, kerosene, butane or propane, and forego fires. You can easily make the hearty meals you'll want rain or shine and no one will know you've been there. "The smart backpacker will take a stove with him," says Roberts. "It will probably save a lot of problems."

Adler leads winter forays into the ancient New York State mountains whose name his club bears. "I have a penchant for camping on the summits of these peaks," he says. Others' penchants take them on the 2,000-mil- e Georgia-to-Main- e Appalachian Trail or the 2,600-mi- le Pacific Crest Trail, which links Mexico and Canada via the mountains of California, Oregon and Washington. Those trails and their environs aside, millions of acres of wilderness areas, national for ests and state and federal park-lanput virtually everyone in the United States within a few hours of a promising trailhead. ds "The main thing is the chance to get away," says Bob Quinn, head of the Adirondack Mountain Club. "You can travel light, take off for a couple of days or a week and get away from the usual problems of everyday life, like catching buses." AdiTry the rondack Park, with its summits above 4,000 feet.
