Hi Fellow Hikers,

I am looking for recommendations for two 5-7 day trips in the US or Canada or say a 15 day trip with a re-supply in August.
Quite frankly anywhere in the US/Canada will do as I am coming from Australia and the extra plane flight doesn't bother me.
I don't have access to a car but I don't mind hitching in or out if its feasible.
I also prefer harder hikes and less people to popular trails.
I have no problem with route finding.

I like big mountain scenery compared to forests and the sea.
I have done the JMT in the US and found it extremely pretty but fairly well trodden.
I have also done a trip in Wrangell St Elias National Park which was very remote and exactly what I was looking for.
It is so hard to judge what trips to do.
I am sure there are people here who could suggest something.

In general, I find trips in books to be too popular for my taste and I don't mind roughing it off trail with a bit of adventure thrown in.

So in summary:

* Tough hikes with fewer people
* Big mountain scenery
* Access for someone without a car

Could anyone offer some advice?

Thanks a lot
