San Jacinto via White Maiden's Walkway & Tahquitz Ridge (CA)

Description

This route consists of reaching three summits. Tahquitz Rock & Peak, Mt. San Jacinto, and Suicide Rock. They are located on opposite sides of a bowlike ridgeline and combining them makes for an excellent adventure. I suppose this linkup could be considered a "triple crown" of the Tahquitz and Suicide Rocks area. I'll go ahead an say it: if you are into mountaineering, rock climbing, ridge running, bushwacking, and trail running then this is a must do route! Also there are some crazy big trees out there!

Cerro Diablo (Chile)

Description

Coronando el valle Lo Valdés, al abrigo de miradas, se erige como joya codiciada para muchos montañistas el portentoso cerro Diablo. Sus irregulares formas y curiosa constitución impiden dimensionarlo adecuadamente al encaramarse por sus faldas. Sólo su contemplación desde cumbres vecinas da una idea de su belleza y majestuosidad.

La Grande Boucle Zen'Nature (QC, Canada)

Description

Travelling 65 km (official mileage) of natural territory, this loop trail allows us to discover the typical Canadian forest environment. We cross forests covered with moss and lichen, we ride mountains with rocky tops and we dive to the many lakes and rivers we cross along the way. The trail is mostly rustic and little frequented. Its elevation offers a beautiful challenge and its wild character spices up the adventure. Officially, this loop is made in four days of hiking. A beautiful wild adventure only 2 hours from Montreal.
