Mixed used, well marked, and scenic loop around Yacolt Burn State Forest in SW Washington. The loop features many creeks, lots of new regrowth, forest roads, scenic views of Mt. St. Helens just a few dozen miles away and steady elevation gains. While the route isn't super technical, it has a very wide mix of terrain with worn mt bike single track, gravel, open fields, rocky forest paths, and well-maintained bridges. It's worth a day's run and hike. 

The route is a very scenic enchainment of narrow ridges & peaks in the Venedigergruppe / Osttirol / Austria. It starts from the Sajat-hut at 2600m high above Prägraten in the beautiful Virgen valley, with a steep via ferrata D/E followed by mixed terrain in terms of scrambling till UIAA II & easier ferrata parts up till C. You will encounter seven peaks including 3 above 3000m as well as breathtaking views, including the glaciers around Großvenediger – all being part of National Park “Hohe Tauern”. 

The Alta Via del Granito is a ring route that develops on the Granite island of the Cima d'Asta group - Cime di Rava sul Lagorai and retraces ancient paths and military roads built during the First World War, linking the two shelters on the group. It is a difficult route, a panoramic tour in stages, along which there are resting and refreshment areas. The Alta Via del Granito is passable from June to September. Good training and normal mountain clothing are required.
