ZhuoDiLuoLiuShan – 著地螺留山 is a mountain people will usually hike together with ShiKeJianShan – 石可見山 if they have the extra time and energy. But it can make an excellent day hike if you want to do something more relaxing without worrying about the time. It offers nice views of...
With last month’s overnight to DaMuMuShan 大母母山 not turning out how I had hoped, I planned another overnight to YiDingShan – 衣丁山. Along the way, I would pass DaWuCang 大武藏 and KaShan 卡山 – both a great pair for a long day-hike. As things turned out, those two would...
This is the first in a series of 60 seconds videos I plan to make of the more popular routes I hike. I chose JinShiuYing Historic Trail because it’s a relatively easy hike that covers a lot of ground and offers up lots of interesting sights, such as plants,...
Coming off a two-day hike the week prior, I wanted to do something simple and mostly relaxing – but with the caveat that nobody else would be around. That’s no easy feat in Taiwan. Simple and relaxing hikes are where you find people, even on weekdays. And to make...
On a clear day standing in Kaohsiung city you might notice a volcano-shaped mountain peak in the distance. That’s DaMuMuShan – 大母母山. It has been on my list of peaks to climb for a while now, and I finally got around to it. You can see DaMuMuShan in the...
With my leg giving me some problems the last hike, I wanted to try something easier this time; a trail with either little elevation gain or a gradual gain over a long distance. This led me to FanLiShan – 蕃里山. FanLiShan was previously off limits; though it seems that...
2019 was a great year for me for hiking. I got out a lot and really enjoyed myself. I picked up a couple cameras (Ricoh GR & Sony RX100iii) to use instead of my phone, which has paid off I believe. I’m slowly learning the ins and outs of...
Last year on exactly this date I attempted to hike to XinZhiShan – 新置山 and failed. I ran into a nightmare of the entangled sort. Overgrowth prevented me from reaching my goal…three times! But this year would prove to be much different. This year I would make it, easily!...
As 2019 was coming to a close, I wanted to end the year with an “epic” hike. Knowing that wasn’t possible, I opted for a hike that would be less than epic but still offer up a bit of fun and adventure. With that in mind, I set my...
After last hike’s battle with what I thought were shin splints, I decided I needed some rest. But two weeks of rest was all I could take; I was itching to get back out in the mountains. I didn’t know for a fact that I had shin splints–they’re new...
