The hike to LiAYanShan – 里阿岩山 was one of the best hikes I’ve had in a while. I enjoyed it a lot. It had most of features I like in a hike. It’s a lesser-known/hiked peak Has a long (mostly offroad) scenic drive to the trail head A “pre...
Earlier this year I decided to do something I had never done before: solo off-trail hiking. Most of the hikes I do are solo; and I’ve hiked off-trail a good deal. But I’ve never purposely set off to hike off-trail for the entire hike. This would all be new...
This will be a shorter post. I had a rather long two-day hike a couple weeks earlier, so I wanted to do nothing more than a simple, short hike. My choice was a six peak combo: DaLaiShan – 達來山 504m DaLaiShan West Peak – 達來山西峰 494m DaLaiShan Northwest Peak...
After my discovery hike five days earlier, I got a wild hair up my ass and decided to hike the same ridge in its entirety. It would be a long hike–every bit of which I’ve hiked before in pieces–but one that would pass by seven peaks. I felt it...
I was wanting do a short bushwhacking trip and found a promising looking back trail to PengJiShan 棚集山 on a map. My guess was that not many hikers would use that trail because the main trail up to PengJiShan is listed as #78 on the “Little BaiYue” 小百岳. After...
If you’re looking for a somewhat challenging day hike, but one that offers a trail the entire way, then XueYeGenShan 鱈葉根山 might be worth considering. I hiked to XueYeGenShan two weeks after hiking to BaiBinShan and ZhenLiShan Northeast Peak – 白賓山, 真笠山東北峰, which are located on the same ridge....
This was originally going to be a combo post of two hikes I did a couple weeks apart. But I realized halfway through writing this that it would be quite a long post; so now they get their own posts! The original plan had been to hike to BaiBinShan,...
It’s not often I tell you that a trail isn’t worth your time. But I might have to make an exception for MeiLunShan 美輪山. MeiLunShan, located in Liugui District, Kaohsiung (高雄市六龜區) likely hasn’t ever been at the top of anyone’s list of peaks to hike. And in its current...
It has taken me a while to get around to writing about this hike. It’s not that QiLuZhiKeShan – 耆路知可山 was particularly difficult, but because I attempted it three times. Writing about it feels like I’m going back for a fourth try! Wouldn’t you feel the same way? Ok,...
I have been putting off hiking to LaiYiShan & ZhenYaSheShan – 來義山 & 真雅社山 for quite some time. Somehow I had it in my mind that they would be super easy and leave me with a lot of extra time on my hands. Boy was I wrong! Yes, one...
