In no particular order:
Lake Lovelywater-Alpha
Wedgemount Lake-Weart
Burwell-Cathedral
Meslilloet
Old Settler
Welch-Foley (Attempted Welch last year, got only to about 2200 m. I figure if I can do it in fewer attempts than the poor guy in the peak description on bivouac.com, I'm doing alright.) 
Lizzie-Stein traverse
Princess Louisa Inlet (thanks for reminding me, Nomad!  )
Frosty (thanks to Mr. Hamlin's photo trip report!)
So many more dayhikes... *drool*...far too many to list!

Joffre Lakes -backpacking/camping
Cathedral
Anvil Island
Manning Park
Somewhere where there are lots of wildflowers
Pemberton Icefields (if there's access)

After all the recent debate on Indian Arm Trail and an interesting write-up linked to the thread, I think that trail is on my list on to-do's. This year I'm gonna keep it local and cover as much of Garibaldi/Pinecone-Burke/Golden Ears Parks as I can. That'll be enough to keep my weekends filled for one season!
This is a great thread to refer back on when you're stuck on where to go...CT rocks! |

Some of my goals have already been achieved through the winter, but for the summer I'm hoping to do:
Eaton Lake
Ling Lake
Cathedrals
The ever elusive Hanging Lakes
Mt. Cheam from Bridal Falls (7000 vertical feet that way)
Liumchen Lake
Mt. MacFarlane
Elk/ Thurston/Mercer traverse
More Manning Park Exploration
Punch Bowl
Perhaps another stab at GhostPass Lake

In the later spring, my climbing partner and I are going to spend a few weekends technical climbing peaks in the Cline River area.
Early in July, I'm taking my wife and daughter for a week long trek through the Little Yoho Valley.
For pretty much all of August, my father and I are tackling a 550km hike from the Siffleur wilderness right through the North Boundary.
In September, I am running the Skyline in a day, shooting for an under eight hour time.
Also in September I hope to pop up to the Abbot Pass Hut. Make it a looong weekend.
Late October will bring a trip into White Goat somewhere. Maybe a late fall solo trip to blow out the end of the season.
December, hopefully, will bring a ski trip to Lake O'Hara.
I am shooting for 60 bag nights this year... |

Cool thread by the way.
My 2004 Wish List
1)Mt.Cheam - This is a good one to do with friends that you are trying to get to go hiking more often. It's a nice easy hike with some great rewards such as a shear peak and outstanding views.
2)Mt.McGuire
3)Frosty Mt. - I think I will wait till the fall for the larches to turn colour for this hike.
4)Heather trail
5)Both Skylines
6)Golden Ears - We'll see how I'm feeling in August. The downfall is I don't know anyone who would want to hike this one with me and I wouldn't do this one alone.
7)Some north shore mountains. I've only ever hiked Mt.Seymour. I'd like to try Brunswick or the Lions.
8)Statlu Lake
9)Joffree Lakes
10)Definately going to Hike Mount Lincoln again - Neat afternoon hike
11)Mt.Hope
12)Eaton Lake
13)Williamson Lake
14)Williams Ridge - If I am feeling up to it. Depends on my level of cardio training by the summer.
15)Mt.Outram
16)I'd love to check out some trails in the Washington Cascades.
17)That new Provincial Park in the southeastern corner of BC next to Waterton Lakes would be a treat but thats a loooong shot.
Theres more but I might not have the time this summer. There's a good possibility I may be moving into a career oriented job. |

Yep, same for me... I think I'll go down to the Washington state a lot this summer.
Rainier & Enchantments are also on my list. BTW, are you hoping to do the Wonderland trail? If I could find someone with the time & interest to do this trail, I would be in... |

| Id love to fly out to Van and join up with you guys for a weekend jaunt - moderate distance and elevation with an overnight. Would be fun to see what Im missing from the other side of the great divide. To me moderate backpacking for one over night would be 15-20k, 500-1000m elevation gain. |

A few I'm hoping to do include:
1. Bald Mountain, in Glacier NP.
2. Return to the North Stein, via Van Horlick Pass. Amazingly isolated and peaceful place. It's been way too long since I was there.
3.Blowdown Pass and Gott Peak.
4. Radium Lake and Mt Webb. |
