Star Treks 🏔️✨ Hiking trails come in all shapes and sizes, but the popular tend to be the longest, most daunting ones. These life-changing, foot-blistering treks are the ones you read books about, whether it’s the mighty Appalachian Trail that connects awe-inspiring vistas from Mount Springer, Georgia, to Mount Katahdin, Maine, or the Hokkaido Nature Trail that wondrously winds through glaciers, forests and volcanic mountains for 2,849 miles in northern Japan. 🥾 For common travelers, though, we don’t have a week or two to spend exclusively on hiking, but we still want to earmark a good, vigorous, fresh-air-seeking walk into our sightseeing itinerary. It’s important to do so—hiking is a crucial invigorator of the human spirit, one that feeds our innate need to explore the unknown, push ourselves physically and mentally, and discover some of the last remote places in the world before someone builds a Starbucks there. Here are some of the greatest destinations for hikers, the places that are inspiring to experience in myriad ways, and they just so happen to include exceptional day trips for those of us who wish to strap on a sturdy pair of Salomons. But let’s be honest here: this list is incomplete. Nearly every country in the world is full of great trails, but there are only so many pages in this magazine. So here I’ll focus on a handful of truly special hiking spaces—the true stars of the trekking world—that may or may not be on your radar. 🔭 #HikingAdventures #Stargazing #NatureLovers #ExploreTheOutdoors

Here is a 1060-character post in a professional tone about a 2-day 1-night itinerary for trekking Mt. Gentle Summit: "Ascending to the gentle summit of Mt. Gentle offers adventurers a wonderfully moderate introduction to multi-day trekking. At only 4,000 feet, Mt. Gentle presents scenic vistas without excessive physical strain. We've crafted a 2D1N itinerary to maximize enjoyment for enthusiastic beginners. Day 1 starts with a 4-hour hike on well-marked trails. The ascent is gradual, gaining 1,500 feet through dense forest. Take time to observe wildlife and seasonal wildflowers. Stop for a leisurely picnic lunch at a scenic overlook. Continue another 2 hours through open meadows with distant mountain views, arriving mid-afternoon at Camp Creek Campground. After setting up tents, relax by the creek before preparing dinner over the provided fire pits. As dusk falls, bundle up for stargazing from the open field. Randy from our guides will point out constellations through the night.

HIKING TRAILS IS LIVE! 🚀 I can’t say how proud I am to launch hiking-trails.com, an extensive resource for hikers, made possible by the hiking community, outdoor brands, trail organizations, tourism boards, photographers, and many more. For years I was looking for a database like this. It was hard to find information about lesser known hiking trails and especially trying to find it all in one place was almost impossible. Sometimes it was frustrating, but after a while I found so many great local valuable resources (not always in English) which I still use every single day. From this need, not only mine but also from many other hikers who were experiencing the same, the idea was born to do something about this. Together with hikers all over the world and local resources, we’ve created a place to find your next hiking trail, as simple as it is! Whether you’re looking for a day-hike, pilgrimage, long-distance trail, or thru-hike, we’ve got you. We now have a small selection of 100 trails published online which will grow the next months to 300, contributed by hikers who’ve hiked the trail, together with local resources and other information. (Sorry if you don't see your trail there yet, it’s quite a job to publish everything at once, we’re working around the clock to upload them all ASAP). For us it’s never been about quantity, we want to become the most quality resource and we can only do this with the help of hikers all over the world, who’ve actually hiked the trails. Our information is never complete, and we’re always looking for feedback to make the website and the information better. If you have any feedback for us, don’t hesitate to reach out. It’s much appreciated! My thanks go out to everyone who helped to set up this website, so many people from hikers who contributed with their knowledge, photographers, developers, outdoor brands, tourism boards, family and friends who helped me trust the process over the years. My co-workers Jochem de Jong and Katie Mitchell, big thanks for your patience while we worked almost a year on this and for believing in the project, always keeping the goal in sight. You can find your next hiking trail now at hiking-trails.com. Let us know what you think about it! 💚 Happy Trails! #hiking #community #outdoor
