    I think my next trip, if not to the Northeast, will be to split the difference between Mount Marcy at 5300' and the Trailriders Wall at 12,000'.

sounds like you didn't exactly fall in love with the arid beauty of the dry southwest, but there are options if you decide to return. the fort davis area is rugged, and big bend at the right time of year is green and wet in a few sheltered canyons
