“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...
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...
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...

XinZhiShan 新置山 is a small mountain that sits directly behind Laiyi 來義 village in Pingtung. I’ve driven by it countless times and have always wanted to hike to its modest 619 meter peak. The end of last January, I decided to give it a try. In my mind, XinZhiShan...
I usually don’t post about hikes that were unsuccessful. But I thought this odd little peak was worth a mention; especially since I doubt I will try it again any time soon. QiJiaXiShan 七佳溪山 is located far up the Lili River 力力溪河 in Chunri Township. At an elevation of...
