What's the farthest you've ever been on your own steam?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 26, 2008:

In 9 days, I walked the High Sierra Crest Trail, 75 miles across CA's Sierra Nevada Mountains from Cresent Meadow (6,700' elev) in the west to the Mt. Whitney Portal in the East. I soaked in the small Kern River Hot Springs and summited Mt. Whitney (the highest mountain in the continental US--14,505' elev) on this trip. Awesome.

I have also done two 200+ mile bike trips in Southern Utah. One from St. George to Loa in March of 2005, and one from Loa to Loa in a loop around scenic Hwy 12 in August of 2006. Both trips took 6 days. Gorgeous.

I did all of these journeys solo.
