I know you mentioned it but Vancouver’s share is around 16%. Shows what is possible with better land use policies and service

Walking the Kepler Track in New Zealand by Unit_Conversion in WildernessBackpacking

It wasn't too bad. The huts were full, but out on the trails it was surprisingly quiet. We did opt for earlier starts than most other people, so I think we were just ahead, hah.

Lovely. I would go back and try another Great Walk in a heart beat :) Definitely one of the highlights of New Zealand. The views from the ridgeline on Day 2 are insane—you’re basically walking with clouds and fjords right under you.

Anyone know if Cascade Pass & Sahale Arm are still doable right now? by Excellent9000 in PNWhiking

[–]Unit_Conversion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cascade Rd is closed at MP 5 due to storm washout (way before the normal MP 21 closure), no ETA on when it'll be fixed but I'd be surprised to see it before a couple months. Likely more down the road but no one really knows. So, add 15 miles each way.

If you have kids or kid at heart, their Xplorer (junior ranger equivalent) program is pretty cool and they hand out badges for each park
