How about a domestic trek
in Alaska?
Ok, so you don't get to stay in nice hotels, or even semi-nice ones. You get to camp out under a starry sky for 3-5 days instead, and in one of the most beautiful and pristine areas of the world too. Just think of the photo opportunities!
One possible trekking company is the Denali Trekking Company. They offer three treks, two of which can be done as center based rather than point to point. This means you only have to carry your large pack or kit bag onto the plane--they fly you in to the camp site--and off to your tent. The rest of the time you use a day pack for your day hikes.
Of course, they also offer a 3, 5 or 7 day full pack trek through the mountain wilderness, which is the best way to see everything. But , that means you need to be up to carrying a 30-60 pound pack for long distances. I'm not certain about the food situation, or what we would need to carry with us. That will require contacting the company.
