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...
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...

NanJiuBaoShan – 南久保山 is located in Pingtung not far from Laoqijia 老七佳. I’ve been to JiuBaoShan 久保山 and figured it was time I hiked to this peak. The morning had great weather and nice views on the way up to the trailhead. It’s quite a climb, even by motorcycle. You’ll eventually...
I went out riding last Wednesday. I’ve been wanting to do a bike ride/hike to a peak for some time now. I saw the JiuBaoShan 久保山 peak near where I was riding and figured what the heck. From my map it didn’t look so bad. Boy was I wrong....
