Every 2nd Saturday in July in Malawi there is the Mount Mulanje Porters Race. A stunning, but gruelling, tough event, the course takes you up to the beautiful Chambe Hut via the Skyline Path then along the Knife Edge to the Milk Run Trail which will take you back down to Likhubula Forestry Station. You …
A great half day trail run or full day of hiking. As with almost all hiking along the Hudson, this trip is great year-round, but particularly impressive in Autumn when the trees light up in glorious yellow, red, green and most shades in-between. While nowhere near as tough as nearby Breakneck Ridge, it is a …
One of the best hiking trips I’ve ever done. This is mainly due to the exceptionally spectacular scenery (Lassen Peak, Cinder Cone, Painted Dunes, Fantastic Lava Beds, clear, blue alpine lakes, rich Sierra Nevada forest, …). Adding to this is that fact that Lassen Volcanic NP gets relatively few visitors (relatively for a national park, …
Reputedly the toughest trail on the East Coast, this is one long butt-kicker of a hike / run. You need to be in good shape to do this one and also it will involve a bit of logistical planning to hike it through (either you need a car waiting for you at the final trailhead …
This is one long out-and-back hike, ideal for a weekend backpacking trip. You’ll walk through old growth rain forest and finally reach an open valley that is truly deserving of its name. It’s a long hike for a day hike (13.5 + 2.5 miles — the additional 2.5 miles is due to last bit of …
A decent 2 night backcountry hiking trip, complete with an ascent of Half Dome. It’s an incredibly scenic trip but it’s also a serious butt-kicker — so only do it if you get excited each time the trail goes uphill. Also, for this trip you will need to get both a wilderness and a half …
A timelapse of us going to sleep and the milky way rising over our tent. This was the second night of our 3 days, 2 nights hiking trip in Yosemite National Park and that backpacking trip was part of a week-long road trip in northern California.
It’s surprisingly difficult to find a looping route for a 1-night backpacking trip in the Great Smoky Mountains. The Mount Le Conte loop is one such possibility though. However even here it involves hitchhiking back to your start or bushwhacking it — I found the latter impossible due to the dense vegetation. That said, it’s …
This is an amazing but intensive weekend trip. Death Valley is so large and has so much to offer, you will not be able to do it all in just 2 days, so don’t even try. This trip gets you to the most popular spots though, as well as a few less popular ones. Don’t …
The Canyonlands Needles District is pretty much off the beaten track. Most people visiting Southern Utah stay further north, around Moab and Arches National Park. If they venture to Canyonlands National Park, then usually only to the Island in the Sky District. So if you are seeking solitude, head a bit further south and go …
