fav place to chill! very steep hike but absolutely worth it

This August I took advantage of a two-day weather window and an open spot at the Kredarica mountain hut to summit Mount Triglav.

I ascended via the Kot valley - one of the quieter trails on the mountain. I only passed three hikers all morning until reaching Dom Valentina Staniča for lunch. Got to Kredarica by early afternoon, just before some light showers rolled in. Kredarica was packed with mostly foreign hikers.

The next morning the final summit push took about 90 minutes each direction. Traffic jams on the narrow sections are a regular occurrence all summer long. Even on weekdays. The only way to avoid them is to start from the hut at 5 a.m. to go a see a summit sunrise. But it's honestly waiting is not that bad ~ you just rest, chat with other hikers and enjoy the spectacular views.

For the descent I took the Krma valley route - more walkable and easier on the legs, especially with fatigue setting in on day #2! Got lucky enough to hitch a ride back to the other trailhead which saved 2 hours of walking.

Total stats: 22 km & 1800 m elevation gain.

Some of my favourite spots around Pirin, Bulgaria.

About 2 months ago we (our dog, gf and I) were on a hiking+campervan holiday in Scandinavia. Well-known to most of you, but still very beautiful was the Preikestolen hike. It was June when we were there so we went up there very early in the morning (2 / 3 AM), which created an absolutely magical experience.

To be honest, the whole Scandinavia trip was really beautiful and I wanted to capture that in one trip overview.
I always record my hikes with my watch with GPX-files as a result. And because I couldn't find anything really cool that bundles these GPX-tracks into one big holiday-trip, I created something myself as a hobby-project, check out our trip: https://rendermytrip.com/kaart?deel=2807ffa2-31f8-4c5a-b66b-13634f7784d2

If you also have a bunch of GPX-tracks making one big holiday trip and want to try it yourself, you're welcome to: rendermytrip.com
There's also a play button that walks through the whole trip like a slideshow, zooming from one hike to the next showing you the photos of that track (which are automatically added to the tracks based on timestamps).

We stayed at one of the Postcard Cabin in Catskill and then decided to take our 3.5 years old for a quick hike!

Was a bit of spontaneous hike, due to instable weather in other regions.

Praxmar to the peak, passing Oberstkogel was a moderate distance of 6km, but with a ~1300m elevation. The last 150m were a bit tricky, but the views paid off. Zischgeles peaks at 3004m and is one of the easier ones in Austria, compared to others.

From the peak I took the other side of the trail back down to Praxmar. The only people I met on the entire trail was at the crossroads to a hut, which is not common for such a popular peak on the weekend.

Hike to Landsberger Hütte. 3 Lakes on the Hike with some piggies who almost ate our socks.

Is Argentina on your list? We love hiking there December-March!

It’s my birthday next week so I decided to book a late minute trip away for some me time and tick something off my bucket list at the same time.

We started at 2am and took a slow walk up- getting to the summit around 5am!

Visibility was poor on the walk up due to fog and cloud cover and very cold and windy at the summit.

Although we didn’t see the sunrise at the summit- we waited a while and as we descended there was a break in the clouds and we were just lucky enough to catch it.

Absolutely loved it and will definitely be doing more- just wish it wasn’t 5 hrs away 😞

Location: Llanberis Path Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)

2,5 days, 49 km, 4000m. of elevation gain

Today I hit up Wheeler Peak, Mount Walter, Simpson Peak, and Old Mike Peak.

Hiked Prutas Peak today in Durmitor National Park. The trail isn't as popular as Bobotov Kuk but the views are gorgeous.

If you're starting from the south side and only planning on hiking to the peak and back then it's a moderate hike of around 4.5 hours with an elevation gain of around 750m.

If you're doing the longer loop then it's definitely on the harder side. Bring lots of water because there aren't any huts on the way.

Now time to recover and get ready for the mighty Bobotov Kuk tomorrow.

A misty, mystical hike down into the gorge of Turkey Run

The best times to spend your day are walking or exercising amidst the breathtaking scenery of the High Atlas Mountains, specifically Toubkal, in the early morning. The atmosphere is absolutely delightful; the morning breeze carries a strong, fragrant aroma emanating from the juniper trees. How beautiful are the stunning natural views amidst the mountainous landscape, as seen in the picture.

Hiked through the scenic Almarasan Gorge, tackling endless steps to reach an open mountain plateau high above. Experience the quiet majesty and raw air of the Tien Shan

I’m hiking the Enchantments in a day, and from what I read was to bring a water filter. I’d love some recommendations of some water filters that aren’t slow because we don’t have a ton of time to spare.

I love hiking and recently have done the Linville Gorge loop, Grayson Highlands loop + Mt Rogers, and Moore's Wall at Hanging Rock SP, but am curious if anyone knows another hike that features unique views and landscape similar to those. I would really enjoy some good bouldering and unconventional climbing.

P.S. I am saving Grandfather trail for me and my girlfriend to do at a later date.

My 50th birthday is coming next year, my wife and I discussed going on an epic trip to celebrate.

I am having trouble deciding between these contenders

• Everest Base Camp
• Inca trail or Salkatnay Trek & Machu Pichu
• Milford Track
• W trek

These are all things I want to do and hope to eventually do, but I’m having a tough time deciding on which to do first I guess.

My first solo climb.

The higher of the mountain's two peaks is 396m.

It was really exhausting, hiking the whole mountain took about 2 hours.

Solo.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows generally how conditions might be like for Yubeng in Early March?

We are planning for a trip in 2027 and would love to do the Glacier and waterfall hikes from town but I’m a bit worried we’ll be snowed out / the hikes might be closed.

Thankyou in advance!

As a vegetarian I've been working on trying to improve the food I eat when multiday hiking. I feel like I've got breakfast and dinner down but I'm currently trying to get a lunch sorted that doesn't involve any cooking. Atm im thinking of wraps with a hard cheese but would love to have a fake meat style thing to go in the wraps as well to elevate them but it needs to be something that doesn't mind being out of the fridge for like 3 days. With meat eaters they can use cured meats for this but does anyone know of anything that would work that would be vegetarian?

If you're curious my current meals are

Breakfast - protein meal replacement powder with porridge oats

Dinner - noodles/couscous with dried veg, textured vegtable protien and spices

Also if it helps im UK based

Thanks

Planning to do ABC trek on end of october. Confused is it safe to visit there considering current Nepal flash floods. also i would be visiting there via gorakhpur - sanauli border. Please needed suggestions i have booked my train tickets as well.

The trek to the summit of Mount Toubkal in Morocco, which rises to 4,167 meters above sea level, was an enjoyable and almost surreal experience. We reached the mountain before sunrise, and the view was breathtaking. Here, the visitor experiences a profound sense of joy and happiness, and the amount of oxygen produced is immense. When you leave the region and country where you were born, you feel a kind of alienation, a feeling that is what people call "the West." But when you set foot in the High Atlas Mountains, you forget all that hardship and fatigue. After arriving and navigating the maps and trails between the Atlas Mountains, you see more than one peak and experience a truly enjoyable journey amidst diverse landscapes and people with different cultures and complexities. Yet, one thing unites you: the path to the summit. We create happiness and joy with the West, making strong memories that will be etched in the minds of many who have reached the summit of Toubkal.
