------------------------- _RECENT HIKING TRIPS:_CAPE WRATH TRAIL
The Cape Wrath Trail is often referred to as Britain’s toughest long distance walk. Stretching approximately 230 miles (370 km) from the Highland hub of Fort William to the remote lighthouse of Cape Wrath, it is an unmarked and sometimes trailless route that passes through the wild and spectacular landscapes of northwestern Scotland. I hiked the Cape Wrath Trail over ten days in the summer of 2018. Click here for a trip report, backpacking guide and gear list from the journey.

CORDILLERA REAL TRAVERSE In August, 2017, Ryan “Dirtmonger” Sylva and I completed a full length traverse of Bolivia’s Cordillera Real. Our route began at the southern end of the range in the village of Cohoni, and finished some 150 miles (241 km) NW of there in the mountain town of Sorata. The trek took nine days to complete, and along the way we crossed 23 passes, ranging in altitude from 4450m (14,600 ft) to 5300 m (17,400ft). Click here

The Badlands
of South
Dakota combines a fauna-abundant prairie land with a moonscape of other-worldly rock formations, to form one of the America’s most unique natural environments. In mid-September, 2016, I hiked the length of Badlands National Park from Ben Reifel Visitor Center to White River Visitor Center. To the best of my knowledge, it was the first time that such a traverse had been completed.Click here

of Christ”) mountains. My route began in the town of Salida and finished at the informal trailhead for Blanca Peak, just off CO HWY 150. It was a largely cross country affair, approximately 120 miles in length and had a cumulative elevation gain of more than 40,000 ft.Click here

SOUTHWEST TASMANIA TRAVERSE Between February 27 and March 22, 2016, I completed a traverse of Tasmania’s southwestern wilderness. One of the wildest, most pristine backcountry areas on the planet, it was a hike I had dreamed of doing for almost two decades. In a nutshell, my journey combined the rugged west coast south of ofStrahan , with the
Arthur Range, arguably Australia’s most spectacular mountain chain. I connected these two areas by way of the De Witt Range, Davey River, Lost World Plateau & Port Davey Track. For detailed trip reports for both the coastal and alpine stages, click on the following links: Stage 1: West Coast,
and; Stage 2: Arthur Range.
Sunset at Evans Creek | Day 4, SW Tasmania Traverse. SIERRA NEVADA DEL COCUY In August, 2015, I had the opportunity to hike in a place I’d dreamed of visiting for two decades; Colombia’s Sierra Nevada del Cocuy. Situated close to the Venezuelan border, this little visited gem of the northern Andes is home to the second largest concentration of glaciers in Colombia, and sports a collection of towering peaks rising up to 5,330 m (17,487 ft). Click here for images and journal entries from the trip. Laguna Hoja Larga | Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, Colombia. CORDILLERA BLANCA TRAVERSE Between August 21 and September 6, 2014, I completed a traverse of PERU’s Cordillera Blanca, one of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountain ranges. Beginning north of _Nevado Alpamayo_ and finishing at _Pastoruri_ Glacier, the route was approximately 252 miles (406 km) in length, and included some 23 passes ranging between 14,000 and 17,500 ft above sea level. To the best of my knowledge it was the first time that such a trip had been undertaken.Click here

From the lowest spot in North America (280 ft below sea level) to the highest point in the contiguous United States (14,495 ft). I hiked this incredibly diverse route in April, 2014, along with my friends, Ryan Sylva, Joshua Stacy and Greg Gressel. Click here for photos and trip notes.

To the best of our knowledge, it was the first time that such a trip had been undertaken. It was an eventful journey, marked by memorable characters, amazing scenery, challenging terrain and a variety of clandestine “agricultural” fields!
