If you live in southern Taiwan, chances are you’ve heard of the popular RiTangZhenShan – 日湯真山 – everyone and their grandma has been there. Heck, I’ve even taken my son. But its “little brother” RiTangZhenShan Southwest Peak – 日湯真山西南峰 on the other hand, I bet few know (or care...
A few days ago I decided to head out to BeiHuLuShan 北湖呂山 to attempt to hike it for the third time. If you know me, then you know this is odd behavior. I never hike a peak twice, no less three times, unless… A New Route! The second time...
BaCengBaMoShan 巴層巴墨山 is a somewhat popular peak with great views at the top and along the way up. I hiked it a couple years ago and I’d recommend it. While I don’t usually hike a peak twice, I made an exception for this one after finding a possible route...
On the other side of the mountains just north of Provincial Highway 24 in Sandimen Township lies a tiny little peak named DeSheShan – 德社山. Abandoned and overgrown mountainside farmland is the only thing keeping you from a nice little mountain ride and easy hike. Unfortunately, the land was...
The hike to LiAYanShan – 里阿岩山 was one of the best hikes I’ve had in a while. I enjoyed it a lot. It had most of features I like in a hike. It’s a lesser-known/hiked peak Has a long (mostly offroad) scenic drive to the trail head A “pre...
Earlier this year I decided to do something I had never done before: solo off-trail hiking. Most of the hikes I do are solo; and I’ve hiked off-trail a good deal. But I’ve never purposely set off to hike off-trail for the entire hike. This would all be new...
This will be a shorter post. I had a rather long two-day hike a couple weeks earlier, so I wanted to do nothing more than a simple, short hike. My choice was a six peak combo: DaLaiShan – 達來山 504m DaLaiShan West Peak – 達來山西峰 494m DaLaiShan Northwest Peak...
After my discovery hike five days earlier, I got a wild hair up my ass and decided to hike the same ridge in its entirety. It would be a long hike–every bit of which I’ve hiked before in pieces–but one that would pass by seven peaks. I felt it...
I was wanting do a short bushwhacking trip and found a promising looking back trail to PengJiShan 棚集山 on a map. My guess was that not many hikers would use that trail because the main trail up to PengJiShan is listed as #78 on the “Little BaiYue” 小百岳. After...
If you’re looking for a somewhat challenging day hike, but one that offers a trail the entire way, then XueYeGenShan 鱈葉根山 might be worth considering. I hiked to XueYeGenShan two weeks after hiking to BaiBinShan and ZhenLiShan Northeast Peak – 白賓山, 真笠山東北峰, which are located on the same ridge....
