Need ideas for amazing summer experiences?

Question

Last year I went on a ten day backpacking trip to the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming. This year I want to do something amazing as well. I leave for Navy boot camp August 26th.

I'm looking into big marathon walks for cancer or helping with Katrina relief, etc. How do I get involved with things like that, and what do you recommend?

Answer 1

go rafting down the Colorado river

Answer 2

I am captain of a fundraising for both Relay for Life (cancer) and March of Dimes (premature babies). I've participated for the past four years, and they both have great walking aspects to them.
