A really great day walking from Zermatt to the Europabruecke

Fantastic day walking off the beaten path

A lighter day, walking around the vineyards of Sierre.

Toughest day yet ends painfully for me.

A fanstatic day in the high Alps under the glaciers

A drizzly hike to Cabane Louvie, at first not fun then very enjoyable.

Definitely a rest day: a half day up to St Bernard Pass—more interesting than we expected!—then lazing around.

Another nearly-as-tough day up and down into Champex-Lac, then Orsières.

Today’s hike is over the border into Switzerland and the Col de Foclaz... 20.5km, with 1030m ascent and 830m decent.

A fairly hardcore and incredibly scenic 12km walk in the mountains just north of Chamonix, France.

Headed out to Mt San Jacinto for an alpine hike, hiking up to Tahquitz Lookout above Idyllwild on a pretty blue sky day!

A wonderful holiday hike in the mountains.

Around the loop on Stewart Island. Pleasant but muddy.

An OK time, let down a bit by the chilly freezing weather, the fog, with more than a few annoying characters too. My least favorite of the four tracks this trip.

Yes, I'd say it's the finest walk in the world. Or one of them.

A great three days of walking the Routeburn Track on the South Island of New Zealand

A short walk up Whale Peak

Last day. A pleasant start to a relaxed and hot day, finishing the GR20 in Conca.

A long and hot day; I cut it short when I see a spectacular mountain ridge.

A bright shiny day scares the grumpies away! Except for the tedious ridgeline, a good long day.

An early start, a soggy ending, a sad refuge

Back on the GR20 today--a half day from Vizzanova on the sourthern section of the GR20.

Four days of relaxation at a villa by the sea, and a couple of road trips to the rugged northwest coast of Corsica and a visit to Bonifacio.

A wonderful and exhausting day up and over the high point of the GR20, through snow and scree, and a wonderful refuge at the end.

We climbed a mountain, scrambled along a crest, and then hated the downhill.
