Must-See Hiking Destinations

If you want to take “leaving your footprints in the world” seriously, you should try hiking. Exploring different countries and seeing the most dramatic sceneries has never been this fun. So, bring out your trusty walking shoes and do not forget to bring your cameras. These terrains will surely leave you in awe.

1. The Kalalau Trail. Located in Kaua’i, Hawaii, this is where the ocean meets the forest. With fantastic views of the Pacific, the waves crashing through the cliffs and, if you are lucky, a dolphin or whale sighting, you will never be disappointed. Stretching over 11 miles and with heights reaching up to 4,000 feet above sea level, you will surely have the thrill of a lifetime.

2. Mount Kilimanjaro. If reaching the summit of Everest has always been your dream but you simply cannot tackle its complexities, head to Tanzania and visit the world’s “tallest free-standing mountain.” Through a 6-day hike, you will experience the most challenging terrains and the most unexpected weather.

3. Zion Narrows. If you want to get wet while trekking, head to Utah where this beautiful, unique trail is located. Going through volcanic landscapes and being surrounded by the most astonishing sandstone walls and passing through streams and narrow walkways are simply exciting.

4. The Tiger Leaping Gorge. Do not expect to see real tigers here, but expect to be blown away by this beautiful place in China. A 14-mile hike will take you to the one of the deepest canyons in the world, giving you a dramatic view of the Jade Dragon Snow and the Haba Xueshan mountain.

5. Tour de Mont Blanc. Head to France and visit this area to see the highest peak in the continent. Offering the best views of the French Alps and Mount Blanc, you will surely enjoy this excursion. Plus, you will never have to worry about being hungry because there are accommodations on the route that serve delicious French food. And if you want to make the most out of your holiday, head southwest and stay at in a farmhouse.
