Adventure Junkies – Huayhuash trek, Peru
… The snow-capped peaks here are really high (many well over 6.000 mts – 19,500 ft) and the feeling of remoteness is fantastic. …
The whole circuit takes anywhere from 8 to 14 days to complete as there are different routes available. There is only one small town where you can re-stock on supplies which means you will need to carry all your food for 7-8 days if walking independently.
For that reason, most of the hikers decide to go with an organized tour. But hey, we are the Adventure Junkies. We can’t let a donkey carry our stuff up the mountain!

Wallace Falls Trail – Gold Bar, WA
trip report by site editor Rick McCharles
5.6 miles, roundtrip
Elevation Gain: 1300 ft.
Highest Point: 1500 ft.
I camped at Flowing Lake Park. Tried to get an early start. But the trail was busy, busy, busy even on a Friday in April.
Washington Trails Association has the best write-up:
Despite the foot traffic Wallace Falls sees as one of Washington’s most popular attractions, those who get out early on the trailhead will be rewarded with a serene tranquility that few other hikes in the area can offer. And unlike many trails, which sacrifice peripheral scenery on the journey for the prospect of a grand summit view, the Woody Trail is consistently gorgeous as you wind your way along the Wallace River and approach the nine dazzling falls. …
Dogon Escarpment, Mali
The Dogon Escarpment is an amazing geographical feature in Mali.
… it’s pretty much obligatory to do it with a guide on a ‘trek’. …
Most of the hiking in Dogon Country is on flat, sandy ground. There is a climb up the 500 metre escarpment (probably) but apart from that the terrain is unlikely to challenge any one. One walks from small town to small town, where you can see traditional life going on without a HUGE change from the outside world. The towns don’t have electricity for example, and you won’t see many vehicles. …

Sultan River Canyon Trail, Washington
trip report by site editor Rick McCharles
4.4mi round trip
850ft elevation gain
North of Seattle.
Opened in 2015, this new tail takes you deep into the Sultan River Canyon where towering old growth trees and steep slopes shade a remote section of the Sultan River. …
That was enough for me. I was first on the trail April 9th, early in the hiking season. I ran some of the flats and downhill … and walked uphill.
You can drive out as far as Culmback Dam.
Spada Lake is the reservoir for Everett, WA.
From there it’s about 1mi walk on a good logging road before you drop steeply into the canyon.
The trail dead ends at the river. I relaxed on a rock in the river for a good 10 minutes.
Then began the climb back up while listening to an audio book for motivation. 🙂
