I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: NPS Rescue Trivia
I'd guess Day Hiking for your first question. Inexperience breeds calls for help.
For the second question, you must distinguish between climbing vs. mountaineering. Anything with a helicopter will be expensive. I'd lean towards climbing.

Re: NPS Rescue Trivia
Agree with above -Day hikers for #1
As for the most expensive (#2)...looking for lost hikers. Thus probably would be day hikers again, with overnight backpackers coming in second.

Re: NPS Rescue Trivia
F. and E. I assume that one of those El Capitan rescues with the helicopter crew is rather costly.
I don’t need a goal destination. I need a destination that meets my goals.

I'd have to say F and E.
