There are many beautiful viewpoints in the Jotunheimen mountain area. I like this particular one best!
The Besseggen (aka "Besseggi") mountain rige is located between the 18 kilometer long lake Gjende and the smaller lake Bessvatnet. Hike up the ridge and proceed to the western end of the ridge. ...

This is a great hike. A total round trip of 16 miles. Its takes on average about 6 hours to get to the top and about the same to get down. If you are in great physical shape you would have no problem getting to the top in 3-4 hours. This hike is very strenuous. Do NOT do this hike by yourself! I hav...

Yosemite NP is a paradise for hikers. In 1996 my cousin and I spent some days there and chose to go for the summit of Half Dome. It is probably one of the most famous day hikes in the U.S. Considering the fact that the total elevation gain is 4,800 feet (1463 m) it is a pretty long hike (17 miles/27...

If you travel through the Southwest of the U.S. the Grand Canyon it is obvious that the Grand Canyon is a must-see. Most people just stop at some of the viewpoints along the rim. More time is needed to hike down into the canyon. It is worth doing!
In 1996 (August) my cousin and I chose to take th...

Iceland is not just Reykjavik and the Golden Circle. You need to travel the entire country to get a feel what Iceland is and all the beauty it provides. One place I recommend stopping off in is Seydisfjordur in the North East. This small town is the major ferry terminal for transportation to Europe....

I have to write about the Manly to Spit Bridge Scenic Walkway, if only to convince tourists to do it on their trip to Sydney.
First, have a look at the map I uploaded, that gives you an idea of the track. You can walk in either direction, but personally I recommend starting at Spit Bridge, and fi...

Got a water taxi (Smoke Wagon - cool name, cool outfit) across the Bay from Homer for a great couple of days of hiking up to glaciers, camping out on baeches (watching out for bears) and kayaking in stunning waters in and out of islands. Saw loads of wildlife - air, sea and land, and loved it all!

This was one of the best sites I have ever seen in the world. The fact that you are one gust of wind away from a 750 foot drop into the ocean is such a rush. The birds looking like ants and the sound of the water make the experience so much better. It is one place that I tell everyone now that th...

A forested, rather pristine, uninhabited part of Cyprus. It is hard to believe that this is actually part of this sun, sea and sand tourist destination, but there you are. Exploration by foot or mountain bike is excellent and the forest is traversed by a network of good quality dirt roads (and a f...
