Hi, I'm shipping to Ft Benning Jan 12, 11B OSUT as Rep-63 candidate. I'm taking a month off from work before I ship, and I'm thinking about doing a 3 week extended hiking trip before I ship, both as training and for pleasure. It probably makes sense to avoid winter conditions, so I'm looking at the Southwest (AZ, UT, NM, CA), maybe some canyon hiking. Can anyone recommend some good trails/extended circuits? I'm trying to figure out the food and water logistics if I want to do something longer than just day trips. Or maybe day tripping it is the way to go, and then I'd probably need a rental car.

Thanks in advance!
