Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
That’s from a good article by KELLY FLORO:
Over the years I’ve cycled and hiked the Bermuda Rail Trail many times.
18 miles (29 km) of a defunct rail line’s right-of-way were dedicated as the Bermuda Railway Trail.
Sounds 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 in February 2023.
This VIDEO is a TEASER for an upcoming post on how to BEST HIKE the Railway Trail.

South West USA
Capitol Reef, Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Glen Canyon, White Sands National Monument, Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. This part of the world is awesome.
We hike the SW USA every year and have yet to be disappointed.
Fascinating, diverse and mind-boggling. The best WOW geological zone we’ve seen anywhere.
More correct would be to call this region the Four Corners.
The high desert plateau intersection of the four U.S. states of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado Plateau is not the deepest nor largest, but it’s by far the most stunningly beautiful on Earth.
Most of the best slot canyons and natural stone arches in the world are here. A desert, your views are unobstructed. The light is perfect for photography.
The best weather is Oct-Nov, Mar-May. Summers are too hot for most hikers.
Most of the hikes in the Four Corners are short due to lack of water and the real risk of getting lost. People die in this wilderness every year.
Our favourite hike in the Four Corners region is Paria Canyon on the border of Arizona and Utah. You enjoy many days beneath huge walls in a slot canyon.

if you hike Paria you’ll certainly add on a nearby day hike called The Wave.

The Border Route Trail (BRT) is a 65-mile trail spanning the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, an expanse of rolling hills, lakes, and forests that is a paradise for canoeists.
The BRT is isolated, challenging, logistically difficult to get to, and it’s worth every step. …
The Trek
Warning. Parts are overgrown. Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Logistics are challenging in India.
One option that appeals to me is signing on for a Do-It-Yourself adventure with IndiaHikes.
We do everything ourselves — but hike alongside an experienced Trek Leader who can answer questions and advise on the many complications of India.

I’d say Cam Honan is the world’s most accomplished hiker.
He’s done more of the best trails than anyone else — and hiked them everywhere in the world.
Needless to say, Cam has faced some life and death situations in the wilderness:
When things get tough on our (much easier) hikes, Cam’s advice is to stop. Think. And try to process the danger as an objective observer rather than a subjective participant.
Be logical. Not emotional.

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.
