@@realitywave I’d have to disagree mostly with that as it’s actually very frowned upon in most places as habitat is very sensitive and people tend to follow others
To try before you "go hike in the clouds". 👍🌞 When watching your hiking videos in my mind I keep hearing the instrumental of "Elevate" by St. Lucia. You are fabulous.
We love the scenery that you capture in your Videos! We also love to Hike and share you trips.💓💓 We were astounded by the amazing scenery and trails in the world❣❣
Very inspiring thank you! Just an fyi, the West Coast Trail does not go thru the Great Bear Rainforest, the bottom of the GBR is on the north east side of Vancouver Island :) Next week I'm on the WCT and in August the Tatchu Trail, above Nootka Island. I've done all the BC trails you mentioned, so good. For more Vancouver Island trails, try Nootka Island for a sweet little adventure, pretty easy and the North Coast Trail, a bit more challenging, but so wonderful. Thanks for the trails you mentioned, so inspiring :)
Una natura antica, meravigliosa e spettacolare, dove il tempo trascorrere lento e silenzioso. Trascorrere avventure in questi luoghi è davvero speciale e affascinante.Un viaggio dentro il nostro sogno infinito,regalandoci il sapore della terra e della visione divina...Max da Sora ciociaria
@@AliceFordAdventures I am lucky enough to live by Mt. Rainier and agree with your choices! I would add Maple Pass (include the side trip to Lake Ann) in the North Cascades. 7 miles and unbelievable views!
@@AliceFordAdventures each was an adventure and great, but probably the Torres del Paine full circuit was my favorite - went in late fall and all alone (saw no one for days) on the back side going over that pass in waste deep snow, post-holing, soaking wet, very windy, if I didn't keep going and get over the pass and find shelter in the woods lower it would've been bad. I really lived right up to the edge back then!
OMG Alice ! Thanks for your expert travel advice. I have been hiking since 2018 and really share your passion ! You have been everywhere and then some.
@@AliceFordAdventures I like your answer and it is applicable to some people. But I think it gives an incomplete picture of being a hiker. I've just watched your Dolomites video and it didn't seem to me that you were just "improving your self-confidence". Most avid hikers don't lack self--confidence. Quite the contrary. In fact, you were [rightfully] bragging, in the Dolomites video, about how brave you are. I've always thought about why people climb Everest for example, or free solo the Eiger. It is certainly not just to improve fitness, build up some confidence and maintain mental health. To me it is much more. It is self-fulfillment. Testing what you are made of. Conquering your limits. Or (when I want to give an easy to understand response) challenging myself. It is the same reason that motivates some to train daily to win the Olympics, or to study long nights to discover a cure for cancer... achieving your best self. . Just sharing some thoughts :)
Just came back from 3 weeks in Patagonia last month (did the W, glaciers, Fitz Roy... etc). It is a must! Amazing! Be prepared for serious WIND and delicious food! :) TMB is next, in June (which will be my 6/20 on Alice Ford's list) lol
I almost did that but bailed to day hikes and was kind of glad I did. Was extremely hot and steep. Most of the inner island is just all green so views are sorta limited. The Areeiro/Ruivo hike area is cool but would be brutal with a full pack haha. IMO I'd pick another location for a big backpacking trip unless you've been a lot of other places already. Not a bad trip but not my favorite.

The Bruce Trail in Ontario is 890 km long, there has to be more than 60+ rails to trails of varying lengths in Michigan, shore to shore trail is 220 miles, north country trail, white pine trails, numerous trails around the Sleeping Bear Dunes, i still think hiking the Hadrian Wall in the UK would be interesting.
So far I did three of them: Laugavegur, Alta Via I and the Salkantay. I understand the appeal of adding Tour du Mont Blanc to such a list, but there are a number of trails in the Alps that are better than the TMB: Haute Route, Tour de Matterhorn, ... One trail I really want to highlight is the Fitzroy Massive in El Chalten which is imho even more beautiful than Torres del Paine. I did my best hike ever over there. Also Africa has some really nice trails. I want to hike the Rwenzori Mountains but given the instable situation in the border region with Congo it won't be for any time soon unfortunately.
Great assemble of hikes. Awesome video. My backpack is currently screaming to get out there, and I can't wait for the warm season to begin. I do not have definitive plans this year but Cape Scott on Vancouver Island in British Columbia has been on my list for some time. If I had to pick a hike overseas, I would be tempted to do the Santiago de Compostela trail in Spain, probably not the entire length but hike a few days to have a better feel of the area 🇨🇦🥾☯️😎🏔
Great review! Already done a number of them. A few more to add to the list; Grizzly Lake Trail in Tombstone Territorial Park, The Chilkoot Trail from Alaska into Canada, The Rockwall in Kootenay National Park, and as an alternative to West Coast Trail, check out Nootka Island Trail.
Good list I've hit a number of these or some variant of them. Done: TMB, 1/2 of Kalalau, Inca trail instead of salkantay, Tugela falls, day hikes on 3 capes and grand canyon, and routeburn instead of milford. Add some of the other high regions of peru to your list like Huayhash trek/Santa Cruz. Also it's spelled Colombia not Columbia - you're gonna make people angry :) Laugavegur is probably next for me and then Patagonia. I want to do dolomites/alta via but already did Italy so kind of want to wait on that.
I saw a documentary about a family that were nearly washed away and drowned by a flash flood in buckskin gultch.there was even video footage of it it looked pretty harrowing just how fast it was filling up the speed and sheer volume of water rushing through was surprising. So I'd definitely take the narrators warnings seriously about wet weather and rain in the area. The family got out but it was a close call.
it was very interesting, thank you so much for your presentation, Also i would like to invite you to come and experience 320 KM long diversify trekking path in my country Sri Lanka.
