The main purpose of this website is to:
list the best, most memorable hikes, long & short, in the world. Hikes that can change your life.
Most are challenging, multi-day adventures. But we also include the very best day hikes: the Tongariro Crossing (New Zealand) & Zion Narrows (USA), for example. We do not (yet) include off-trail scrambles or climbs.
This site helps you get started organizing the trek of a lifetime. The best guidebooks are listed to help you plan. (Be sure to get the most recent edition.)
Currently we are researching the best hikes on Earth adding an information page overview for each.
This is a work in progress. Can you help? Do you know of a fantastic hike that is not yet listed on this site? Did you notice any errors? If so, please e-mail us through contact links on every page.
This page is in the blog section. Here we post what’s new in the hiking world. Updates to our database of the world’s best hikes. And issues facing hikers.

Don’t forget to check out the “Grey Owl’s” trail route in Prince Albert National Park, Canada. It has been a terrific hike that we have enjoyed more than a few times. Lots of history and quite the story about its namesake.
