Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
Kraig is the #1 hiker on YouTube in my opinion.
This video includes a lot of hiking and spectacular drone footage — as usual — but also includes much more on the rest of his visit to the islands of Madeira, 400 kilometres (250 mi) to the north of the Canary Islands and 520 kilometres (320 mi) west of the Kingdom of Morocco.

My kind of destinations. 😀
Having just returned from Utah, summer 2023 could get me to Norway, Faroe Islands, and Iceland.

Over the past few years I’ve spent a lot of time on the famed Bermuda Rail Trail. Hiking, running, cycling.
Sound wonderful? A long day hike on tropical islands. 🌴
However … there are a number of sections where you must walk busy roadways to regain the trail. And the Flatts bridge was not yet opened February 2023.
Without question, Rick’s new video is the most comprehensive online. In fact, if you watch all 10 minutes, you may feel there’s no need to actually do the adventure yourself. 😀

If that’s too long, I have a 1-minute teaser VIDEO alternative.
Our recommended itinerary starts with a ferry to Dockyard and continues past the official trail end in St. George’s — making it much longer. AND we recommended side trips to forts, light houses, and beaches along the way. BEST is to do the Rail Trail over 2 or more days.
The Bermuda Railway was a 21.7-mile (34.9 km) common carrier line that operated in Bermuda for a brief period (October 31, 1931 – May 1, 1948). …
More than 10 percent of the line was elevated on 33 separate structures of timber or steel construction spanning the ocean …
It was said to be one of the most expensive rail lines built …
In 1984, 18 miles (29 km) of the defunct rail line’s right-of-way were dedicated as the Bermuda Railway Trail for hiking …
Over the years I’ve cycled and hiked the Bermuda Rail Trail many times.

Working on a longer video for the Bermuda Rail Trail hike, I’ve been posting exerpt clips as YouTube #shorts.
With no indigenous population, Bermuda was discovered in the in the early 1500s.
Only 21 square miles, there are a lot of graveyards.

I’m in Bermuda for about 5 weeks Jan/Feb 2023.
It’s an ideal time of the year for hiking with highs averaging about 70°F (20C). Very little humidity.
Best of all, the beaches are near deserted in the winter. I had this one to myself. Launched the drone.

TikTok has forced every other social media platform — including YouTube — towards shorter, vertical videos.
We have eyes side-by-side, so landscape photos and videos are more natural.
The ONLY reason to post anything in a vertical format is because it’s the default position of your mobile phone. 😀
I’ve tried several times to convert landscape to vertical. For example, here’s a teaser for our longer BestHike BEST VIDEO Highlights 2022.
