Full traverse from South to North of Alpi Apuane.

The GTAA is a spectacular traverse that cuts South-to-North the full length of Alpi Apuane and can be done in either direction. It follows the main trails but also goes up a couple of important summits such as Pania della Croce and Monte Matanna.

This route is fantastic for those looking for a bit of adventure during the shoulder seasons in Colorado.  Located just southeast of Grand Junction the Dominguez Canyon Wilderness is a unique offering in Colorado, with similar climate and geology to nearby Moab, UT.  I generally followed the route on Alltrails titled "Big Dominguez and Little Dominguez Loop", though there are sections where the trail disappears and you need to route find / choose your own adventure.  Included in the route-finding portion is finding your way from the end of the plateau (Upper Bar X trial), near No Mans Mesa,

The Harzer-Hexen-Stieg is the best hiking trail to explore the magical and mystical world of the Harz: a true hiking adventure.
