My main Dark Comtinent travel advisor was asking about great trekking trails on his excellent blog, Out of Canuckistan. Curious to see what was around I checked out National Geographic. They came up with this list in their May 2005 issue.
1. The Colorado Trail
2. Buckskin Gulch, Utah
3. John Muir Trail, California
4. Kalalau Trail, Kaua'i, Hawai'i
5. McGonagall Pass, Alaska
6. Fitz Roy Grand Tour, Patagonia, Argentina
7. Kungsleden, Sweden
8. Mount Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal
9. Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
10. Routeburn Track, New Zealand
11. Shackleton Crossing, South Georgia Island
A bit too North Americancentric for my liking so I came up with my own Top 11 list.
1. Antarctic Peninsula
2. Annupurna Base Camp, Nepal
3. Altiplano - Bolivia / Chile
4. Milford Sound - New Zealand
5. Tiera del Fuego – Argentina
6. Mount Kailash, Tibet
