Tuolumne. Squamish. RMNP.
Those are the obvious ones.



Or you can get a little adventurous and do some hiking into the Sierras (I'd start with the area out around The Hulk).

July is blueberry and pickeral season in northwestern Ontario. Friction remains good through to August; it's a dry cold.

All the projects remaining are likely bee ten or so. Beeez. And bears. If you make the trip do watch out for the bears.

I found some sick bouldering in the Tetons in july one year. It's all adventure shit though, so bring a stick to poke bears with (in the eye), and a pad that you can fit 3 days survival gear in. Or you can just bring a pack and put it on sharp corners so you don't snap your back in case you ass rocket onto talus (like i did).

Have sex with bison as there are no women nearby. This is more of a high-plains activity.

I also got my freak on at the black hills of south dakota. no bison, but killer spires and boulders. Watch out for a local old man who wrote a $5 guidebook at the store by the lake. he'll try to steal shit out of your car.

There are some re ally nice caves for living behindmt Rushmore. There's a little campground there, and a stream, with2 caves upstream- the one on the left is dark but gets wet if it rains, the one to the right much more roomy . The rock is sharp. Got stuck one morning chasing mountain goats up a ways, then found it difficult down climbing naked. There is no sleep like a sleep in a cave. Very cool and quiet at night.
