Attached is a list of mountain destinations for trip ideas, organized roughly according to difficulty / duration. This list is posted on the Trip Leaders section of the website, but as it is work in progress, it would be great to get your feedback and additional ideas here so we can update the list on the website.
Thanks for your input and sharing some of your favourite places!
