Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
The Cirque of the Towers represents a real “must see” on the lifetime list of most serious backpackers … TwoHikers.org
I seriously must get back to Wyoming to hike this 2-day, 20.4mi (32.8km) loop via one of the most impressive cirques anywhere! it’s surprising how some of the biggest glaciers, the best peaks, are not in the central Rockies but way over in Wyoming.
August and September are the best months.
Alpine Club of Canada – Abbot Pass Hut
At 9,598 feet, it is the second highest permanent structure in Canada. Built in 1922, how is it that I still haven’t been there. It’s just up the hill from Lake O’Hara.
Might be the extreme scree gully / avalanche shoot approach.
Next week I will announce the besthike.com South America page. A resource for any hiker wanting to get started organizing a trek. I focused on South America first as it is the best neglected continent by hikers. Information on hikes in the Andes is more critical than in the Alps, by comparison.
Best hikes & treks in South America.
My favourite photo on South American hikes was professionally published by Radek Tezaur. This is the Dientes Circuit in Patagonia, perhaps the world’s most southern major hike.
I was twice so far frustrated trying to hike Bolivia, the poorest and most problematic of South American countries.
But I vow one day to do the long Transcordillera trek through the Royal Mountains. And return to the great salt flats.
