DH flew us to Bishop once to hike Mt. Whitney. It was sure a lot easier to fly there than to drive!! You can get over to the June Lakes area also - that is supposed to be beautiful. Easier hiking than Whitney for sure. I don't think it is 100 miles, but we did it in a single engine whatever-it-was airplane DH's club had.

What about somewhere in the Shasta or Lassen area? I remember flying by Shasta and Lassen on the way to Red Bluff to pick up a friend of DH's to go to Idaho and think how cool those mountains looked just sticking up out of the flat lands like giant zits.

Somewhere in So. Oregon?? Crater Lake?
