The Hiking Life

“Deserts, jungles, mountains or coast; I’ve never had a preference. If I’m out in nature with everything I need in the world on my back, chances are my smile is wide and my thoughts are clear.“

After 10 years and hundreds of posts, I finally go After 10 years and hundreds of posts, I finally got around to writing my first trail shoe review. The featured footwear is the Brooks Cascadia 14, which I've been rocking in a variety of terrains from Mexico's Sierra Madre to the Austrian Alps since August last year. For my money it's the best version of Brooks' signature trail shoe since the 9th edition was released in 2014. See link in profile for all the details. : @brooksrunning #thruhiking #ultralightbackpacking #trailrunningshoes #rei1440project #wanderlust #brookscascadia #hiking

Last month a new wordpress theme was installed for Last month a new wordpress theme was installed for "The Hiking Life" website. Since then I've been spending quite a bit of time resizing images and updating links and logistical information for the more than 200 hikes featured on the site. One such trail is the Around the Mountain Circuit. Here's an excerpt from the revamped post: : "In the southwestern corner of New Zealand’s North Island lies a lonely mountain by the name of Taranaki (aka Egmont). Rising some 2,518 m (8,261 ft) above sea level, it is recognized as one of the world’s most symmetric volcanoes, and its Fujiesque profile exercises a magnet-like pull over those that are fortunate enough to behold it. For wayfaring types that are interested in experiencing the mountain’s wonders on foot, the area boasts more than 300 km (186 mi) of maintained pathways, the longest and most challenging of which is the Around the Mountain Circuit (AMC)." : For the full rundown (maps, gps, history, gear list, etc) on this beautiful trail, see link in profile. : #aroundthemountaincircuit #mounttaranaki #egmontnationalpark #optoutside #newzealand #tramping #hiking #ultralightbackpacking @mountainlaureldesigns @katabaticgear @montbellamerica
