Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
I use an Ursack on every overnight trip — except where a Bear Vault is required.
In fact I have two Ursacks and have carried both on longer trips for greater capacity.
Next time I need to replace one of those I’ll go with the best of their product line, the Ursack AllMitey.
Ursack recommends using an odour-barrier bag as a liner (sold separately).

I’ve finally scheduled Kilimanjaro for September 2020. Kili is our #1 ranked trekking peak.
I’ll be joining the expedition organized by friends David Adlard and Kraig Becker.
Cost is $5480 including everything from arrival to departure in Tanzania.
We’ll be taking the longer, less traveled Lemosho Route to maximize our chances of getting to the top.

Without question, one of the best day hikes in the world.
Although beautiful, it can be dangerous if you are not fully prepared to enter an alpine environment. Extreme weather, terrain and distance have resulted in this track having the highest number of search and rescues for trampers in New Zealand. …

Ultimate Gear Lists:
The Pyrenees High Route (Haute Route Pyrénées, HRP) is a long distance hiking trail that follows the mountainous divide along the French-Spanish border. …
The 497 mile (800 km) long HRP trail follows the backbone of the mountain range all the way from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Mediterranean Sea in the east. On average it takes about 45-50 days to complete. Since many hikers are unable to spare the time, expense, or effort necessary to thru-hike the entire trail, we suggest an alternative 5-6 day itinerary below that covers some of the most stunning sections of the trail. …
It is also worth noting that the Pyrenees are home to two other long distance trails: the French GR10 and Spanish GR11. Both of these trails also follow the Pyrenees mountains for their entire length. However, the GR10 and GR11 each remain exclusively on one side of the French-Spanish border, travel at a lower elevation, and are well marked. Whereas the HRP trail constantly hops back and forth across the border, follows the highest part of the mountain range, and is not officially marked. …

Trip report by BestHike editor Rick McCharles.
Only 3km return, this scramble is considered difficult. On the other hand, there are plenty of comfort ropes to assist you. Some of the descents might be tricky in the rain.
Very pretty is this old pipe now covered with moss. They bricked the ends to keep critters and kids out.
