Summary:

“Jesus fucking Christ, Stevie. You said this was an easy walk.” Eddie pants. As Steve looks over his shoulder, it’s clear to see that Eddie is struggling - his face is flushed pink and a few curls have escaped from his bandana headband and are stuck to his sweaty forehead. “This is easy. See—” Steve stomps his foot on the gravel pathway. “—we’re walking on a path, rather than the forest floor. Ergo, easy.” “Tell that to my calves.” Eddie mutters. He puts his hands on his back and groans when he stretches his muscles. Steve’s heard that kind of groan from Eddie before, only then they were in a more horizontal position. His face flushes thinking about it, but he can’t let himself get too carried away. They’ve got a trail to hike. OR: Steve and Eddie go on a hike.

Thanks for the rec!

Last year, I met Peter and Jenn from @alaskahelicoptertours At the time, I didn’t truly believe I would ever have the opportunity to work with them, because it really just seemed like a dream. Then, there I was taking my first ever helicopter ride in December of 2019, learning how to escort guests to #knikglacier Fast forward through the crazy 9+ months we’ve all been through, and they reached out to let me know about an opportunity to guide with them. Today, I have the opportunity of surveying the land in preparation for our first heli hiking tour together on Wednesday!! I’m so #stoked for today, and the future. Thank you @alaskahelicoptertours for the opportunity to do amazing things with you and our guests! #bigweek #bigthings #helicopters #hiking #hikingguide #awesomefeeling #experiences #alaska #hikealaska #gohikealaska #exploreyourwild #alaskahike #travelalaska #visitanchorage #visitalaska #letsmakeplans #triptoalaska #thatswhatsup #letsdothis #letsdowork https://www.instagram.com/p/CFm4ennnB0Z/?igshid=ejkh2xidypp9

Lei Yue Mun to Mau Wu Shan

Difficulty 4/5

If it’s your first hike, it’ll be a struggle but worth it I think because it really catapulted my base fitness way up.

Incline & Decline 4/5

My biggest issue with the trail was how much going up and down there was. I mean I know it’s hiking, but was probably a bit too much for a rookie that hasn’t gone hiking in ages. My legs were sore for quite a few days after. 

IG worthy? 3/5

I know there are plenty of other hikes in Hong Kong that will give you gorgeous photos, but I gave it a solid 3/5 because the views with the concrete jungle and greenery is just awesome. It was quite gloomy so I’m sure if you go on a nice & sunny day it’ll be quite the photos. I prefer it cloudy anyway. I’d rather be able to walk the trail, than have amazing photos for IG with sun. 

# of hours

Took us a good 3-4 hours because we kept stopping... sorry.

Breakdown of the Hike

Did part of Wilson Trail Section 3 from Lei Yu Mun, but took a detour rather than staying on section 3. Detour took us to Mau Wu Shan instead of continuing to Ma Yau Tong which is where section 3 continues to.

If you’re a beginner hiker, like me, doing the entire Wilson Trail Section 3 will likely take you a while. Although we started at 9.45 am, by the time we were halfway it was already past 12 pm. We took it very slow, stopping quite frequently to take photos of the view... and because this couch potato couldn’t keep going.

Getting to the trail is a hike in itself. A concrete hike.

From Yau Tong MTR station, it was took us about 15 minutes to get to the trail. This wasn’t a flat walk on nice soft grass... no this was uphill in the middle of the concrete jungle that is Hong Kong.  If you’re a couch potato like me, I guarantee you’ll be tired before you even start the trail.

Even the “walk” (hike) to the start of Wilson trail had a decent view. 

Honestly, by the time we reached the start of Wilson Trail Section 3, I was already exhausted. So we took a breather to look at the map of the trail.

*YOU ARE HERE* = Lei Yun Mun. Mau Wu Shan is about halfway on the right. 

When you reach the top of the stairs,  turn right -->  

Otherwise you’ll head towards Lam Tin. 

Where we started Wilson Trail, it is actually quite pleasant. It’s a concrete path (not ideal for your poor knees) but it did make it an easy warm up walk. There’s some slight potato couch friendly incline at times. Perfect for a beginner hiker! (”This is wonderful” I thought to myself. It’s like I’m a hiker!)

Quite quickly, you’ll stumble upon the sign that says “Devil’s Peak” it’s a perfect stop for photos and to take a breather. There’s two options it seems, the first Devil’s Peak (Gough Battery) and the Top Battery Devil’s Peak. I’m unsure of the difference, but we decided to ignore the first Devil’s Peak sign and continue walking to go up to the Top Battery instead. 

When you get to the second option for the Devil’s Peak, it’ll look like this. Quite a bit more intimidating than the concrete slope down where the first sign for Devil’s Peak. This is not for the faint, but a fun climb though to get started. Just make sure you’re not hiking in high heels... 

View from Devil’s Peak

Heading back down from Devil’s Peak to continue on the trail. This is the main reason why I would not recommend going up to Devil’s Peak if you have issues with climbing, it’s steep climbing up but getting down is the difficult part, even for the well-balanced individuals.

Thankfully helpful hikers have set up ropes along the path. Otherwise you’d be flailing your arms like a crazy person trying to keep your balance. 

Continuing to walk from Devil’s Peak towards Black Hill

Yes, that’s all uphill (then downhill.) Final thoughts... it’s a wonderful hike, but honestly very intense for a first one... if you want to challenge yourself though - go for it! Just take short but frequent breaks to catch your breath.

Today I hosted a hike for @rei for their Campout. We hiked to a nearby historic cemetery from the old town of Ethal. It was a logging town and stop on the historic railroad in the late 1800’s. #relive #rockspringsrun #hikingguide (at Rock Springs Run State Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvbxeYgZTN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qzoc6o3a1ttb

The Kathmandu valley is surrounded by a tier of green mountain walls above which tower the mighty snowcapped peaks. A full picturesque view of the valley is received by only a trek.

Trekking guide directing the way while hiking on a glacier at sunset, Vatnajokull (Glacier of Lakes) National Park, Iceland by diana_robinson From my archives: I took this photo of our alpine guide who did a great job helping us avoid the deep crevasses as we hiked on the Vatnajokull Glacier in Iceland. What a great experience it was hiking the glacier at sunset! Can't wait to be able to go back. https://flic.kr/p/2jn8d4E
