Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
The photogenic Teton Range extends from Jackson Hole, Wyoming 40mi (65km) in an impressive sweep.
We did just one dayhike off the Jenny Lake boat — and wished we had enough time for the Teton Crest trail.
The highlight of the Tetons for us was cycling the Park and taking photos of Bison. We’ve posted 24 pictures on Flickr.
When choosing the best hikes in the world, the chance to see interesting flora and fauna is an important factor.
On a 4-day hiking & biking car camping trip we saw moose, bison, antelope, bear, deer, elk, mountain goat and more.

Actually, this was the first time I’d seen the large North American Pronghorn Antelope. And we only saw the one in the video.
Rated as “moderate” in Alan Kane’s Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies — we had a particularly gruelling day. Alan’s trip description is very confusing.
UPDATE – Dave Stephens has posted a trip report which will help you decide on the best route.
Dave’s goal is to scramble every mountain in Kane’s book.
Lesson learned? Bring the GPS and topo even on an easy scramble.
Ray tells me this is a photo of Storm in the Canadian Rockies.
Ray tells me that we are ON for the weekend of July 22-23.
Kelly tells me he will fly all the way from Whitehorse, Yukon for a shot at this peak.
See you on the summit!

Very cool.
UPDATE: Kids can start training on an inflatable pool iceberg.
Arriving at Mammoth Hot Springs late in the day, I found it an eerie place.

Ever think about quitting your job and taking off?
Jesse did just that. I have been following his excellent blog for months now as he attempts to visit all the National Parks in the USA, including Alaska!
It would be well worth subscribing to the RSS feed now. Jesse has signed on for a 120 day RV tour of South America next.
Surprisingly, tiny Hong Kong offers some terrific hiking.
I’ve done day hikes on some of the islands. One of our contributors recently did a long day hike on the mainland.
Of course combining hiking with one of the most photogenic cities in the world is a great combination!
The clean, well organized hostels offer the best value accommodation in town. My home base in Hong Kong is the Mt. Davis hostel.
Our favourite vista in Yellowstone was over Grand Prismatic Spring. We were cycling to Prismatic when others on the trail recommended we climb a nearby hill.

Old Faithful erupting is the signature attraction of Yellowstone National Park.
But we thought Grand Prismatic Spring was even better.
The outrageous colours reminded George of the Ring Nebula.
