40. RIM A RIM A RIM A RIM
Five million people visit the Grand Canyon National Park annually, but to really know the period of the great ditch, you must find it on a mega day. From the edges from south to the north, I am talking about 44 miles, 20,000 feet of elevation change and a geological trip that covers 1.8 billion years. I put a spring morning at 4:38 am through the South Kaibab path and ended at 6:09 pm at the Bright Angel Trailhead. I’m not going to lie, he was exhausting. And I trained for four months. But going through this beautiful natural landscape in more than 15 hours was something that I will never forget. “Nill Taylor.”
41. Mountainfilm attends in Colorado
I have been in Mountainfilm, the grandfather of the American film feasts outdoors, many times. Celebrated on the weekend of the Fallen Day in Telluride, it attracts some 4,000 people anxious to immerse themselves with more than 100 documentaries, above all, from adventure to social problems, and to hang out with guests and speakers such as Jimmy Chin, Kris Tompkins, Tommy Caldwell, Cheryl Strayed and Pattie Gonia. This year, for the first time, the short films that are shown here will qualify for the Academy Awards. Three professional tips: Bring a blanket for outdoor night projections, reserve your place in the events well in advance and stay in the incredible local camp ($ 30), to which you can walk. Starting summer in Telluride is a joy: walking along the Judo Wiebe path on the city, with green views; get into a rapid boulder in society’s turn; Or simply wandering down the main street and see so many people from the world outdoors. Steps of $ 210 —Ao
42. Walk through the Smoky, Tennessee and North Carolina Mountain Park
Seventy -two miles of the race for the most visited park in the nation. My favorite stretch is an abbreviated version that is as beautiful and remote as it is challenging. It begins on the western side of Lake Fontana, in Tennessee, and amounts to 7,000 feet in 32 miles, surpassing Kuwohi (formerly Clingmans Dome), which extends to Horcajadas on the state line of North Carolina. Stop at the Shuckstack Fire Tower and count its 78 steps to the top for an incredible view of the sinuous blue fingers of Fontana that are filtered on the green ridges below. As for the time, I must say in October when the foliage is appearing, but I like summer, when I can deviate to the holes. -GEORGIA
43. Camp with the children of Yosemite National Park in California
The first time I walked to the top of the 317 feet vernal fall, my daughter was a small child in a backpack. Now he is ten years old and the five -mile fog path goes up. If you launch a tent at Upper Pinas Campground, which enjoys the views of El Capitan and Half Dome, it is a fast bike ride from its site to the beginning of the path. Or escape the crowds addressing the Meadows Tuolumne Meadows camp, which will open again in June after an important renewal; Half of the sites there are made for campists. The reservations open five months before at 7 am from the Pacific hour and are exhausted in minutes, so it is in it. Both camps $ 36 – Megan Michelson
44. Go to crabs with aunt in South Carolina
Catching what you eat in a city is something strange. Which is what makes it worth looking for the casual crab with Aunt’s experience on a trip to Charleston. Tia Clark turned from a hospital industry career to teach premises and visitors equally for crabs in a sustainable way, something related to their Gullah Geechee culture. When my daughters and I, who have zero knowledge of the crabs, spend a morning with her in the water, made us feel professionals. Later we took our generosity to Charleston’s crab house, where he was steamed and thrown with Old Bay, and ate it with our hands and the required bibs. $ 125 – ks
45. Kayak El Mar de Cortez, Baja California Sur
Last December, my wife and two teenagers decided to bring the new year with a trip to Isla Espiritu Santo, a Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO. We booked four nights with the local ecological adventures of Todos Santos and we had a ball swimming with marine lions, kayak between the devil’s rays, diving with sea turtles, exploring coves of the island, wandering to the promoters with a view to the bays of turquoise and the bathtubs of the stars of the stars. From $ 395, including glamping accommodation, meals, teams and guided walks: Fiachra Stokes
46. Bikepack The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route
This route is parallel to the continental division for about 2,700 miles between the border between the United States and Mexico and Banff, Canada. I did it to the north, the increasingly preferred address, given the concerns of seasonal forest fires, starting in June and making my way on dirt roads mostly lonely and in impressive landscapes for 45 days. The driving is not technical, but the elements, 149,000 feet of elevation gain, a poor cell service and the length of a large part make a company serious. However, the true beauty of this effort is to make it what it needs to be: a resistance test, a travel odyssey, a personal vision search. You will return changed in a way that you will not expect. “Bryan Rogala.”
