Hiking In The Rocky Mountains

Guest Post: Hiking in the Rocky Mountains

The Rocky Mountains are a stunning option for hiking in the USA.

The USA is an absolute dream for hikers, with its massively diverse scenery meaning there is something to suit all tastes, and beautiful weather in which to enjoy it.

With so much gorgeous scenery on offer it can be difficult to narrow down the options as to where exactly to hike, but when it comes to quality of trails, it is extremely hard to beat the famous Rocky Mountains.

The Rocky Mountains offer a deliciously rugged landscape, with cold grey peaks reaching up into the blue sky and still, tranquil lakes lying between them. Greenery also covers most of the landscape, with much of it being densely forested, and hikers can walk alongside swift-moving streams.

Easy Hiking In Little Yosemite

Debbie Beardsley shares with us another park for easy hikers – the Sunol Regional Wilderness in the San Francisco Bay area and shows us easy hiking in Little Yosemite.

I have lived in the San Francisco Bay area for the last 24 years. I love the Bay area because one can enjoy city life or be exploring the outdoors in an hour almost in any direction. Every which way you look there is something inviting for you to explore.

Sit back as I tell you about one of my favorite areas for an easy hike or a walk!

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, the sun was out and the 100° weather had broken so we grabbed our little schnitzeldunkin and headed off to the Sunol Regional Wilderness, one of our favorite spots.

The Franconia Ridge Hike

Guest Post: Easy Hiking Trails Most hikers would put scenic hiking trails high up in their list of favourites, no matter how difficult they may be to trek. Let’s face it, who would want to mount a seemingly endless trail of gray landscape without the promise of a picturesque vista at the end or at the top? Ray Anderson is no exception and here with his guest post, he tells us why this is his favourite hike. The Franconia Ridge in New Hampshire is a loop hike involving an ascent to the ridge via the Falling Waters Trail. On the ridge, you will hike from Little Haystack to Mt. Lincoln, to Mt. Lafayette, and descend the Old Bridal Path back to the starting point. This is my favourite hike.

The views from both sides of the ridge are spectacular. Just make sure you pick a good clear . . . → More Easy Hiking: The Franconia Ridge Hike

The Hangover Hike

Guest Post: Easy Hiking Trails

As Easy Hiker never tires of saying, a city trip need not be just about shopping and sight-seeing. Outdoor adventures can be had to spice up your holidays, as Cathy and Randy found out in their recent stay in Sin City. Here, she tells us in her great guest post.

The excesses of Las Vegas can take a toll on the fittest of us. So how do you balance the late nights and too much food, drink and gambling with healthy activities when you’re in Sin City? Here’s a rejuvenating place that is unknown to many visitors to Las Vegas.

Exercising, breathing in fresh air and enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Mojave Desert is the perfect way to purge the toxins and temporarily avoid the temptations back in Las Vegas.

Choose Your Own Adventure At The Badlands

Just about everything anybody in Europe knows about the “Badlands” in South Dakota – to the extent that they know anything about them at all – is that they provide the setting and the title for a classic outlaw movie, a sort of Bonnie and Clyde for the 1970s. But did you know that the Badlands also provide the setting for some great hiking adventures? Well, now we do – thanks to Ted who has “cased the joint”.

A guest post by Ted Nelson When I was a growing up there was a series of books that were very popular called “choose your own adventure.” Readers would start off on page 1 and at the bottom of the page the story would come to a crossroads. Then there would be choices with corresponding page numbers for the readers and depending on how the reader wanted to continue the . . . → More Easy Hiking: Choose Your Own Adventure At The Badlands
