Mt Fuji Four Trails (Japan)
This route is the combination of all four ascents and descents along the Yoshida Trail, Subashiri Trail, Gotemba Trail, and Fujinomiya Trail, and one time around the crater and reaching Kengamine.
Timber Top (CA)
This is a steep ascent right along the coast in Big Sur. It's short and tough with incredible views. The trail is not too technical. Here's a link to AllTrails.
