Exploring San Diego’s Ho Chi Minh Trail (aka “Saigon Trail”) with @connelljr 🥾 👉🏻Check out 👀 this 0.7-mile out-and-back trail near La Jolla, California. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 30 min to complete. 👉🏻You will cross a plank over a small ravine, enter a narrow slot canyon, and take a rope down to the beach access point. Great work out hike if you go down and up, etc. 👉🏻Gloves and good footwear recommended. 👉🏻This is a very popular area for hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. #hochiminh #getoutside #adventurehike #hike #hikingtrip #adventures #hikes #hikingday #californialove #hiker #hikingbuddy #visitcalifornia #hikers #hikingadventure #getoutthere #hikelife (at Ho Chi Minh Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceq9EnzLMQi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Langtang hiking the valley of glaciers’ Langtang is the closest trekking destination from Kathmandu, and walking through the valley offers great opportunity to see the picturesque Himalayan ranges, while also enjoying the feel of the off-the-beaten-track as the hike follows through the most remote and unpopulated areas of Nepal. The hike promises the stroll of the lifetime passing by the swift mountain streams, rugged rocks, lovely pasture lands, meadows strewn with daisies and wild animals all looked upon by the spectacular Langtang ranges on the backdrop. A few hours’ drive from Kathmandu to Syabru Bensi commences our journey of Langtang hiking trail. Passing along the dense oak & rhododendron forests and even the glacial moraine at places, we make it to the popular Tamang village of Langtang. We extend the hike by staying overnight at Kyanjin Gompa, a great place to try local yak cheese. Further up, we move through Nubamatang, settled in a hidden valley, on our way up to see the glaciers, which is also a gateway to Tibet. We at Skyline can arrange for a ‘Tamang Heritage Trekking trail’ anytime in a year; if the itinerary below isn’t what you wish for. We can still customize the trip as per your need, so please feel free to get in touch with us. We never fail to offer our clients with the best possible trekking packages. #langtanghiking #hikinginlangtang #langtanghike #skylinetreks #hiking #nepalhiking #hikingadventures #hikingtrails #hikingculture #langtang #hikinglangtang #nepal #adventurehiking https://www.skylinetreks.com/destination/nepal/hiking/langtang-hiking.html https://www.instagram.com/p/CDU5fP1jMMK/?igshid=cxsuurya96bm

We found more water falls in the Chattahoochee National Forest of Georgia. High Shoals trail has two falls, Blue Hole and High Shoals. Blue Hole is a 20 foot fall and Big Shoals is a 50 foot fall. The trail bridge is out so you either get your feet wet or cross the log like we did. ____________________________________ #highshoalstrail #highshoalsfalls #blueholefalls #chattahoochee #nationalforest #hike #hiking #trailpics #adventurehike #waterfalls #falls #bluehole #highshoals #trail #naturephotography #waterfall #swimminghole (at Blue Hole Falls / High Shoals Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4UzcjjBGq6/?igshid=7ow1sq8ztyjt

6 Simple Hiking Tips for Beginners

Hiking is a fantastic way to spend time outdoors and it’s one of my absolute favorite hobbies. There’s nothing I love more than heading out to admire the sheer beauty and magnificence of the outdoors, and the endorphins and sweat just come with the territory!

What’s even better is that hiking is built around spending time in nature. There’s something so empowering about going outside.

But like all things, there are a lot of different safety concerns to consider when hiking. Even if you’re already an experienced hiker, it’s always good to have a refresher. That’s why I’ve put together this hiking tips for beginners guide.

1. Have a goal and plan

If you’re new to hiking, it’s important to have a goal in mind. This doesn’t have to be a grand adventure, but it should still be challenging. As a rule of thumb, you should plan to finish your hike in 4–6 hours. If possible, it’s always great to go on a few hikes before you actually set off. Find out where the trail starts and where you’ll have a chance to get off the trail.

It’s also important to plan ahead. It’s important to pack enough food, water, and backup gear for the trail. It’s always best to stick to what you know. This also means that you should stick to JUST the trails, and trails alone. Don’t go venturing off, now!

2. Make friends on the trail

Make sure you share the trail with your fellow hikers. Everyone goes at their own pace, so there’s no real rush to finish your hike. It’s more about enjoying the experience than finishing on time, and company never hurts especially in an emergency.

3. Bring plenty of water

It’s also good to have enough water. Be sure to carry additional water in case the lakes or streams along the way are dry. This goes without saying but it’s something you might forget when you’re excited and eager to start hiking.

4. Make sure your equipment is good

When it comes to outdoor equipment, quality is everything. It pays to invest in well-made hiking shoes that are supportive and durable.

As with everything, it’s important to start with something you know. My go-to hiking shoes are Merrell women’s Moab Ventilator 2 Trail, a pair of shoes that look casual but have tons of support and are suitable for any terrain.

Also, make sure it’s a good fit. Wearing tight, ill-fitting shoes is also very dangerous. Opt for shoes that are comfy and allow you easy movement.

These shoes from Merrell are extremely comfortable and allow good airflow which helps fight the heat.

5. Prepare for emergencies

One of the best hiking tips for beginners is that you should always pack emergency equipment. Also, make sure you pack extra water, food, and clothes so you’re not left exposed to anything unexpected.

For instance, you should have a first-aid kit with you. I wouldn’t recommend anything too heavy as it can easily hamper your hike, however, it’s good to have some bandages, moleskin, and sunscreen for sun protection.

It’s also a good idea to pack an emergency whistle or flashlight — just in case!

6. Choose the right gear

It’s especially important to choose a backpack that suits your needs. The right pack should support your back and help you carry your things safely.

If you have a back problem, the pack should also distribute the weight evenly on your shoulders and your torso. This will also help to keep your posture healthy and prevent unnecessary strain on your back.

Also, don’t make the mistake of overpacking your backpack. Chances are you’ll have a weight restriction for your backpack anyway. So do your best to only have what you need.

Enjoy Your Next Adventure

Hiking and backpacking is an activity that will always be close to my heart. Whether it’s the fresh air in your lungs or the fantastic beauty of nature around you, it can be enjoyed by anyone who’s a bit tired of the city life. Remember to leave those notifications OFF on that next grand excursion! ;-)

Climb a sea stack in Donegal

Ireland’s Donegal has long since been famed for its stunning coast line and rugged cliffs. But it has been fast gaining a formidable reputation amongst rock climbers for its staggering sea stacks.

Donegal has some impressively steep and vertical sea stacks that are perfect for adventure seekers. The better known stacks include those on Tory Island, An Port and Tormore, but there are others all along the coast.

There are various sea cliffs with alternative options for climb. You might have to travel through sea for varying lengths to reach the different cliffs. The sea stacks on An Port are the most easily accessible through road.

Sea stack climbing is open to all and does not require experience. Descend from a 250m sea cliff onto spectacular beaches in some of the most secluded locations in Ireland. Climb staggering towers of rock and summit to a pristine view that will take your breath away.
