  3. Cub Scouts Journey to the Edge

    An unexpected meeting of a cub scout troop leads to a fun adventure on the rocks.

  4. McWay Falls

    No matter how many waterfalls you've seen before this one is a gem. Flowing year-round onto deserted pristine California sands, it's one of the most picturesque spots around Big Sur.

    Come for the view of the falls at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, then try the hiking trails among the giant redwood trees across the road.

  5. Lewis Creek

    Lewis Creek, is a small trail, that is outside of Fish Camp, near Yosemite National Park, California. It's filled w/wildlife, water filled creek (when its Late Winter or Early Spring), tall pine trees, and possible-- Red Woods; and its a nice trail to take a stroll around to appreciate nature.

    In some conditions, its really necessary to wear snowblind sun glasses to prevent getting snow blind, boots, since the snow can reach upto 6' deep.

    It's off of Highway 41 North towards Yosemite, and have to go past Sierra Sky Ranch, which is about 2-5 miles from there, and you have to look closely for small signs that reads Lewis Creek ;)

  6. Waihee Ridge Trail

    Waihee Ridge Trail
    Maui, 4½ mile out & back trail, medium difficulty.
    Elevation gain: 1,560ft (from 1,000 – 2,560ft)

    Ascend the Waihee ridgeline trail up Maui's western peak of Pu'u Kukui and you'll be hiking above the sightseeing helicopter tours and admiring the lush rainforest valleys and coastlines beyond.

    Hiking on the windward side of any Hawaiian island means wet weather, muddy conditions and the threat of heavy rains. This trail is subject to all these factors, but the wet weather means waterfalls are plentiful, the vegetation is greener and the cooler conditions make for a nice comfortable hike.

  7. Nounou Mountain

    Sleeping Giants
    Kauai, 4 mile out & back trail, medium difficulty.
    Elevation gain: 1,100ft (from 200 - 1,300ft)

    Nounou Mountain rises from the leeward (Eastern) lands of Kauai. Local legend tells of a giant who feasted so much at a party in his honor that he laid down for a nap and never awoke, and since the hike up East Nounou Mountain trail takes you straight over his head and up his nose, you might want to cross you fingers that he doesn't wake up while you're around.

    This is a nice little hike if you're in the area, and a great way of sampling some of Kauai's exotic plantlife and bird population.

  8. Land's End

    Land's End and adjacent Lincoln Park stretch from Ocean Beach & the Cliff House northwest to the wealthy Seacliff neighborhood (ask a local to point out Robin Williams' house). A trail follows the coastline along the park's length, offering fantastic views of the nearby Presidio, Golden Gate Bridge, the art deco VA Hospital, and the Pacific Ocean.

    Its somewhat remote location in the Richmond District means you likely won't get stuck in a crowd (aside from those rare warm Saturdays), even though the Legion Of Honor museum is just up the road.

  9. Austin, Texas

    Austin, Texas is the live-music capital of the world - or so they say. Sixth Street is filled with bars, restaurants and clubs and the Hike and Bike Trail along Lady Bird Lake, smack in the middle of the city, is very popular.

  10. Barmer

    "Travelling to the edges of the world does not require traversing long distances. They may actually be found, folded between the seams of modernity", said my fellow traveller casually when our travel agent asked if Barmer was for real.

    Destination Barmer is meant only for the footloose.
