“Three peaks to rule them all,” they said. No, they didn’t say that. I said it. Because this hike features three peaks, two of which aren’t terribly difficult to reach. One of them has a view that will make you not want to visit the other two. But you’ll...
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...
It’s not often I tell you that a trail isn’t worth your time. But I might have to make an exception for MeiLunShan 美輪山. MeiLunShan, located in Liugui District, Kaohsiung (高雄市六龜區) likely hasn’t ever been at the top of anyone’s list of peaks to hike. And in its current...
