Outdoor adventures, mostly gravel rides, but not always
Walking from the hut to Vierwäldersee
After a night at the Lindernenhütte, a walk to Eggberge and a great view of Vierwäldersee.
A scenic walk to a fantastic SAC hut in the mini Dolomites of Zentralschweiz
An easy walking tour from Stoos SZ to the Lindernenhütte SAC.
Picturesque alpine lake in a beautiful valley
A short, but steep, hike to an alpine lake and wildflower-filled meadow.
Winter walk through small villages with numerous Matterhorn views
A long winter walk from Zermatt to Tufteren. We thought the trail looped from Tufteren back to Zermatt but were told it was a summer only trail. Concerned we were running low on light, we walked back to Sunnegga and returned to Zermatt.
A walk in the snow from the top of the world
Descending through the snow under the Matterhorn.
A point to point walk highlighted by an old bridge
A point-to-point between small villages highlighted by an old stone bridge.
A long walk a grassy ridge
Our prior walks had all been enjoyable but I really wanted more of an effort and selected the hike from Schönried to Sparenmoos, especially the steep Rellerliweg climb.
Walk across the eastern shore of Lake Zug connects the centuries-old cherry and chestnut cultivations of Zug and Walchwil
We were looking for a simple walk in the unpredictable April weather and decided on a walk above the Lake Zug and through woods.
A pristine winter landscape, stunning views, and easy walking on groomed trails
After a long week at work, I didn’t have the energy for a full day of cross country skiing. Looking for something to do outside but a bit less taxing, I read about the winterwanderweg opportuntiies at Flumersberg, the local resort for all those living in Zürich. This seemed an ideal compromise.
A wet, muddy, cold, and colorful hike in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness
The vast majority of my hiking takes place in, and around, Olympic National Park because it doesn’t require a ferry ride. Wanting to see some fall colors, I reviewed some of the popular hikes in the I90 corridor on the WTA site and Rachel Lake was a frequent addition and the photos suggested wonderful fall scenery would be on display.
