A few days ago I decided to head out to BeiHuLuShan 北湖呂山 to attempt to hike it for the third time. If you know me, then you know this is odd behavior. I never hike a peak twice, no less three times, unless… A New Route! The second time...
BaCengBaMoShan 巴層巴墨山 is a somewhat popular peak with great views at the top and along the way up. I hiked it a couple years ago and I’d recommend it. While I don’t usually hike a peak twice, I made an exception for this one after finding a possible route...
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...
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...
Continuing with the theme of ‘easy hikes’ due to my knee injury, I chose to make an attempt to hike to an abandoned Paiwan village named Tjakuvukuvulj. While there, my secondary plan was to hike to NeiWenShan – 內文山, a nearby mountain peak that doesn’t appear on any newer...
Continuing on my run of exploring abandoned aboriginal villages, I set out to find the Paiwan village named Tanasiu. What I couldn’t have known was that it would be easily reachable and leave me with time on my hands. With that, my curiosity took me on quite a little...
After stumbling upon the abandoned Paiwan village Vuri’ilj last week, I decided to look for another abandoned village to visit. My search led me to Kulalangau (sometimes written as Kulalangaw) in Chunri – 春日. It’s located very near BeiHuLuShan 北湖呂山. In fact, there are two alternate trail heads you...
I bought a new camera a couple weeks ago and have been anxious to try it out in the mountains. With the recent plum rains, only the mountains to the south of Kaohsiung looked to be a safe bet. WuLiYi Northeast Peak – 霧里乙山東北峰 (1026m) was low on my...
ShiKeJianShan 石可見山 is a peak located behind Laochijia Village 七佳村. I had always thought you needed permission to hike there. But a facebook friend recently completed the hike and told me permission wasn’t necessary. As you can imagine, it was immediately bumped to the top of my list. Why?...
In July last year I randomly rode off into the mountains near Laiyi 來義 and happened upon an “altar of human skulls” as it’s known. Of all the days I could have ridden up there, this may have been the best. It was a clear and beautiful summer day...
