A canal outside the north of Brugge coming from sea and passing by small village of Evenbroek. Standing on the bridge I could see trail of trees in symmetry on both side. Day was setting down and it was breathtaking moment.
We arrived at a camground near Benasque, where we found thunderstorms forecast for all of the next day, and decided to spend a couple nights to wait out the weather. This gave us a chance to see the town, which we found filled with outdoor gear athletic shops and teaming with super-athletes. It turns out that a series of trail marathons and super marathons were scheduled for the next three days. The longest of these was over 100km and had more than 6000 meters of elevation ascent and decent in the space of circumnavigating some of the Pyrenees highest peaks. The runners wear headlamps and run through the night, and while we saw a few limping along on damaged ankles and with bloodied shins, it was amazing to see them running full speed both up and down boulderfields on mountain passes. Trail runners, near Benasque, Aragon, Spain.

Vista Trail, Kachina Woman rock formation
Boynton Canyon Trail 2009-03-11: For our mid-week hike, we hiked Boynton Canyon Trail. The trail runs alongside Enchantment Resort at the beginning of the canyon, and is a very popular, high use trail. There are several well-known ruins in the canyon. Near the beginning of the trail is a side trail called Vista Trail leading up to a view up-canyon and of the surrounding scenery. Vista Trail ends at an area regarded by many as one of Sedona’s spiritual vortex sites.
The trail was quite busy and, like many of our fellow hikers, we headed up Vista Trail. After returning to Boynton Trail, we went off-trail further on, looking for a route up on the ledges along the canyon wall. We hit a wall where we’d hoped to find a route between two cliff walls, but we did enjoy the views and found a tiny cave along the cliff.
We headed up the canyon, which become progressively more heavily treed, and ponderosa pines become increasingly numerous. The near the end of the canyon, the trail ascends a steep section of slickrock and ends at a sign discouraging off-trail hiking in the area. The view of the canyon is fantastic, and it is possible to follow the ledge to the right around to get views up the canyon.
This is in the valley near my house. The trail is impassable in many places with as much as 10-20 feet of trail covered with fallen trees at many points.

The Glens Trail at Gorge Metro Park in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
The Glens Trail is basically etched into the cliff-side overlooking the Gorge where the Cuyahoga River separates Cuyahoga Falls to the north from Akron's North Hill neighborhood to the south. It's narrow and slippery but it's spectacular.
The sheer drop to the river is on one side of the trail and the craggy cliff face is on the other.

I was on my way home from a backpacking trip in the Tuolumne Meadows region in September when it started to become cloudy - conditions I like for shooting during the day in the forest. I found a place to pull over along Tioga Pass Road - I think it was near a trail that might run between White Wolf and Lukens Lake, but I'm not certain - and I found this quiet section of forest full of large trees and open ground.

The Tusk Rhino Trail is a London wide art installation, kindly curated for the charity by Chris Westbrook, that celebrates the magnificence of the rhino, and draws attention to the severe threat of poaching to their survival. Each rhino has been specially designed, decorated and embellished by internationally renowned artists.
Painted by: Zhang Huan & Titled "The Poppy Rhino"
Zhang Huan’s works are both highly personal and politicised, dealing with complex issues of identity, spiritualism, vulnerability, and transgression. His practice incorporates a wide variety of tactics – from performance to photography, installation, sculpture and painting.
“The skull that appears in The Poppy Rhino is not the first time I have reproduced or included skulls as a motif, which continue the theme of my work; impermanence and the transient nature of life.
They are specifically Tibetan in style. In Tibetan culture, lama uses the skull as a cup in order to prevent people from becoming addicted to worldly pleasures. The skull tattoo represents a spiritual antidote for passions and vices. The Poppy Rhino resonates strongly with my previous Poppy Fields paintings. I try to use them for questioning and reminding of the omnipresence of death and the impermanence of all things.”

The vast Inca Trail
Empire was connected by an extense Inca trail system. The Classic Inca Trail is the most popular trail in Peru. This is the only Inca Trail
that has as final destination, Machu Picchu. There are several places from where it is possible to start the Inca Trail, but the most popular one is the Classic Inca Trail which consists of a hike of 4 Days and 3 Nights.
Three of us from the club rode the Chief Ladiga Trail from the beginning in Anniston, Alabama, to the Georgia State Line where it turns into the Silver Comet Trail. We continued to Cedartown, GA, then back to Anniston for a little 86-ish mile day jaunt. Fun times!
Way off in the distance is a small bump at the end of the ridge. That nodule is the Mount Fremont Lookout.

Appalachian Trail: Stony Man Mountain to Hawksbill Mountain, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Saturday, 23 October, 2010.
The Lahaina Pali Trail on Maui is a foot trail originally used by the Hawaiians to bypass the cliff (pali) area at the southern end of Mauna Kahalawai, or the Weste Maui Mountains. The trail bypasses the region along what is now known as McGregor Point, between Ma`alaea and the Ukumehama Beach area.
This trail was once paved, as you see in a couple of these shots, with lava rocks. It may also have had smaller material between and on top of the rocks to make it smoother, but sadly, the paving has eroded away, or been removed.
After this trail was paved, a newer road was built lower down, along the pali, for horse carts, and then the earliest cars. Then, late last century, a more modern road was built with road cuts, wider lanes and shoulders, fewer curves, and a smoother ride.
The remnants of the trail now serve as a hiking trail.
Soldiers Pass Trail.
We did a fantastic loop hike up Soldiers Pass Trail and down Brins Mesa Trail, taking Cibola Pass Trail (after an ill-advised off-trail detour to Cibola Mitten) back to Soldiers Pass Trail for a 6 mile loop hike. On Brins Mesa, we took photos of the recovery of the mesa from the 2006 Brins Fire, part of a long-term project to document the recovery in photos. Coming off the mesa rim, we thought we could hike off-trail up to the saddle between Cibola Mittens and Brins Ridge and locate a trail down to Soldiers Pass Trail from there. While we're pretty sure there's a non-system trail leading up to the Mitten, we went off-trail at the first attractive wash, and ended up bush-whacking and clawing our way up to the saddle... about halfway up to the saddle, covered in scratches, I announced quite vocally that going off-trail was a really dumbass thing to do. We made it to the saddle, and the setting sunlight on the red rocks probably made the bushwhacking worth it. We watched the sun set behind Capitol Butte, then discovered we couldn't find the trail down (if, indeed, there is one) and opted to head for Cibola Pass Trail instead of take our chances. It was solidly dark by the time we hit Soldiers Pass Trail, but a half moon helped light our way and we kept the flashlights in the pack.
