Cape to Cape Track | Western Australia, 2010
Listed below are 100 multi-day hikes that I have had the good fortune of doing from 1995 to the present day. In my opinion, they are all “great” or “classic” hikes, however, I have refrained from assigning them any type of order other than alphabetical. How can one compare the jaw-dropping grandeur of high alpine regions to the stillness and timeless quality of the desert?
The hikes listed take place in thirty-nine countries on six different continents. Click on the hike in which you are interested for a summary and attached photo gallery.
