I'm prepared to get 0wned, but optimistic: walk 15 miles several days a week, have run decent half marathons without any running training, and do lots of farmer's walks.
for the big ones, zion and yellowstone will average about 8 hours drives for me, so going to try to experience them within a year.

thanks for the reply! you've seen a lot of cool things. have you ever felt in danger?
i've watched a lot of hiking videos in recent months, especially by kraig adams. recommend you check out his yt channel. he frames a beautiful scene and edits well. i'm also very fond of this by another uploader, especially the footage from 7:50 onwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDzc71AAs8E#t=7m50s

Oh yeah then you should be good! Ive never like, legit feared for my life...but Ive been in some extreme situations for sure. In March when I was hiking up in Banff, it was cold as FUCK up there. Like...the first day I got there it was a high of 6 degrees Fahrenheit.

And actually the first day in Yosemite, I was definitely dehydrated and felt pretty awful/dizzy and still had like 4/5 miles to go and I was out or water. I brought like...3 liters but that wasnt enough. Should have taken my friends advice and brought a Life Straw so I could at least get water from one of the lakes or rivers to drink.

Heres a good pic of mine that captured how cold Banff was
