I have to say that my skin took on a certain glow when I was out in the mountains for six days earlier this month. there's a lot that can be said about not using Ivory for a week - my hair and skin looked fantastic. a lovely swim in plain lake water (with a bit of dr bronner's) washes away each hiking day's grungies. all one needs on a backpack trail is a little tube of toothpaste (some things are not negotiable) lots of water and life is good. now miss sarbar, you've got to be kidding about the one pair of underwear for five days? hmmm, I sense a poll question coming...

I met my "dream girl" thanks to the wilderness! She's a professional guide from AZ, now living in PA (with a kick-ass job of taking at-risk city kids in to the wilderness for a month at a time for adventure therapy). Super plain Jane but can also doll up. She didn't brush her teeth for 2 or 3 days on our Olympic trip, doesn't use deodorant or shave her legs. back country knowledge galore at age 31. I guess there is "good natural" and "bad" natural. You could jsut be a total slob in the wilderness, but there is a certain amount of self-care that is important. I wouldn't like the slobby wilderness natural type. I'm ranting. I guess earthy is good, trashy is bad. Hmm, my own little esoteric thing. I dunno. Kinda like Seinfled having that episode where there was "good" naked and "bad" naked". Now, too bad she lives too far away and I only see her like twice a year! Any New England women on this board let me know!!!

I saw a mother and two daughters on Aasgard last month and I was into all three of them (daughters looked low to mid 20's and mom looked like early 40's). We first saw them coming down when we were going up and then we saw them coming up again the next morning. The fact that they climbed up and down Aasgard on consecutive days upped their hotness even more.

Once while coming back from an overnighter by the tarns on the YAB trail, my buddy and I were met by a continuous stream of ladies while we were heading back down. It was like an outdoor babe-a-thon. Lots of heaving sweaty busoms from all the exhurtion and ripped lycra tights..oh my! This trail will forever be my number one for scenery....oh yeah, the mountains looked nice too!

so I'm guessing by reading this thread that I should stop hiking in a miniskirt because this is not at all a good look....

Dunno, fugly is still fugly regardless of a pack or sprots bra. However, I will agree, semi-hot women can easily become really hot in the montains.

Time for a "Women of NWH" calendar?

I just changed my avatar...I couldn't think about hot hiker ladies with a picture of my daughter staring at me.

I'm always on the lookout for attractive female hikers while on the trail. I can say from experience that there are not many out there, however, exceptions are always made. So few have I encountered that I actually remember the exact trails where the rare sighting occured: 1) coming down the Mount Rose trail near Staircase in ONP and 2) coming down the path leading from Talapus Lake in the Cascades. Just though I'd put my two cents in
