I quit my job, stuffed my pack full of lightweight gear and too many electronics, kissed my girlfriend goodbye, and headed West to hike 2650 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. Follow the entire adventure from the deserts of California through the Sierra Nevada Mountains and into the Cascades.

While on vacation in Marrakech, we took a day trip to Amizmiz to hike in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. We visited a local souk, hiked five miles toward the mountains, had mint tea and a proper feast with a Berber family and then hiked back to town.

Just off the coast of Spain, Mallorca and its jagged limestone mountains offer some truly beautiful and challenging hiking. We signed on for a guided hike of Torrent de Pareis, a gorge that runs through the Tramuntana mountains to the sea. One way, this intermediate-level day hike was a beautiful way to spend a day in Mallorca.
