Looking for ideas. Being lazy and hoping to piggyback on the research/experience of others. Info about logistics, food, and camping... or just a kernel of an idea.. appreciated.

I have over a month of vacation coming up end of January. And can usually get 10-14 days off other months. If airfare isn't a problem where would you go for an epic backpacking adventure this winter.

I"d prefer a nice long trail with either camp anywhere or actual (vs stealth) camping areas. High places, epic views a bonus, and unless otherwise told, I'm probably too much of a wuss to camp in Africa.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking Patagonia, New Zealand, or SW United States.

Thanks in advance.

heading anywhere south of the equator sounds right

That would be an epic trip no question.
