West Coast Trail, Canada
Mike and Lara are MB Guiding.
They’ll organize your hike to many different destinations in B.C.
For example they’ll guide you on the West Coast Trail for C$1650 in 2017.
The West Coast Trail is our #1 hike in the world. A life changing adventure.
Experienced hikers can easily do it independently, however. The MB WCT information page is an excellent resource for everyone.
Thanks Hendrik.

best sections of the Florida Trail
Cam Honan hiked the Florida Trail in the winter of 2011/12.
He enjoyed most St. Marks Wildlife Refuge and Big Cypress National Preserve.
Highlights included sunrise and sunset on this Trail.
Local fauna.
Cam bumped into legendary thru hiker Billy Goat. Two legends, I’d say.
Read Cam’s Florida Trail Backpacking Guide.
cycle hiking Pacific NW islands
This cycling book includes a pretty good overview of hiking trails on each island. I recommend it.
Kilimanjaro’s Machame Route
Lagunas Altas Loop Trail, Chile
I’m keen to hike the NEW Patagonia Park in southern Chile about a half hour taxi ride from Cochrane.
The West Winds Campground is open October to April. There are a number of new day hikes open in the park including the Lagunas Altas Loop.

It’s not easy to get to Cochrane, by the way. 🙂
