I’ve already checked a few of them off, but the “50 Best” is a pretty good checklist for places I’d like to go and things I’d like to do, with a few exceptions. I don’t particularly want to take a 4×4 through the Steens Mountain Backcountry Byway (#50), or Ski Scar Face (#19), which is a chute in Colorado that would almost certainly kill or paralyze me (the magazine describes Scar Face as “more a prediction than a description.”) Overall, however, I like lists and this one has some good ideas.
I already have the Press Party route on my personal list; it’s been there for quite some time.
