The Angleworm Lake Trail is a lollipop loop in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. It's one of the most popular trails in the Boundary Waters, being only 15 miles north of Ely. The trail consists of a loop around the long and narrow Angleworm Lake, with a spur trail out to the trailhead on the Echo Trail (now a gravel road). The loop is about 13.1 miles long with 1900 feet of gain. The trail is hilly and generally well maintained. It goes through stands of red and white pines and dense deciduous forests that have gorgeous color in September and early October.

Loop around one of the most iconic mountains of the Alps - Tre Cime di Lavaredo, 2,999 meters high and located in South Tyrol close to the towns of Toblach and Cortina.

You can start the loop on any point and the direction does not matter, but you have to go to all 4 huts: Dreizinnenhütte, Rifugio Lavaredo, Rifugio Auronzo and Lange Alm.

As the route is usually very crowded starting very early or very late is recommended.

This route links the four peaks that form an impressive horseshoe at the head of Spiller Canyon: Matterhorn Peak, Whorl Mountain, Twin Peaks, and Virginia Peak. Along with the Sawtooth Ridge extending northwest from Matterhorn Peak, this is the northernmost block of Sierra peaks to exceed 12,000 ft. Matterhorn Peak is the highest in the Sawtooth Ridge, which is commonly considered the northern beginning of the High Sierra, and is one of just 15 of the SPS Emblem Peaks. Just south, Whorl Peak provides a gem of a Class 3 scramble, and is one of the 35 SPS Mountaineer's Peaks.
