Kenai Fjords · USA · 3 MIN ·
From Seward, reach Aialik Bay, Northwestern Lagoon, or Bear Glacier Lagoon by boat or guided transport; exposed water, difficult landings, and glacier-view cabins shape the outing.
West Coast · New Zealand · 3 MIN ·
From Rata Lookout to alpine meadows and the Alex Knob summit, this demanding return walk follows changing forest zones above Franz Josef Glacier/Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere.
Exploration & simulation · 2 MIN ·
Research driving in Arizona and the Carpathians uses different tools for three different problems: seeing the route, measuring the water and finding a winch attachment.
Olympic Exclusion Zone · 2 MIN ·
Pacific Drive makes each expedition a planned station-wagon run through the fictional Olympic Exclusion Zone, where forests, swamps, towns, radiation, anomalies, repairs, and a closing storm shape the return.
West Coast · New Zealand · 3 MIN ·
Fenian Track leads past exposed Maloney’s Bluff to a gold-miner’s hut replica at Adams Flat, with a longer continuation to the historic Adams Creek Workings and water race.
Central North Island · New Zealand · 3 MIN ·
A hut-to-hut network links Oamaru, Boyd and Cascade through beech forest, river valleys and saddles, with road-end approaches that let trampers shape a multi-night journey.
Utah · USA · 2 MIN ·
Follow the Virgin River from Temple of Sinawava to the end of the pavement, with the Narrows treated as a separate decision.
Capitol Reef · USA · 3 MIN ·
Capitol Reef’s northern Cathedral District pairs monolith viewpoints and historic Lesley Morrell Cabin with remote roads, faint paths, and routefinding choices shaped by weather.
Hovenweep · USA · 2 MIN ·
A visitor-center sidewalk leads to Little Ruin Canyon, where a primitive rim trail passes Hovenweep Castle, Twin Towers, and Square Tower among ancestral Pueblo structures.
Booker T. Washington · USA · 3 MIN ·
A mostly paved loop behind the visitor center links reconstructed plantation buildings, the Burroughs homesite and a grassy approach to the 1894 tobacco barn.
Washington · USA · 2 MIN ·
A clockwise loop from Paradise links Panorama Point, High Skyline, a mountaineering memorial and Myrtle Falls.
Auckland · New Zealand · 2 MIN ·
Climb through Windy Canyon’s sheer rock faces, then follow a changing ridge past a historic logging frame and regenerating forest to Hirakimata’s rare-species habitat.
Canterbury · New Zealand · 3 MIN ·
Choose a steep climb from Arthur’s Pass village or a less steep approach via Scotts Track; both cross a marked bushline into exposed alpine ridges above the Bealey valley.
An alien ocean planet · 2 MIN ·
From the lifepod’s oxygen-limited dives to deep trenches, lava fields, and seafloor habitats, Subnautica turns exploration into a chain of practical choices about equipment, visibility, and return routes.
Abel Tasman · New Zealand · 2 MIN ·
Mārahau’s causeway, Apple Tree Bay, inland gullies and Anchorage’s final descent make a 12.4-kilometre coastal stage.
Fire Island · USA · 2 MIN ·
The Burma Trail crosses Fire Island’s backdune wilderness from Watch Hill to Smith Point, tracing a partly vanished road among dunes, storm-altered sand, and remnants of earlier human use.
Otago · New Zealand · 3 MIN ·
From Fantail Falls, Brewster Track crosses the unbridged Haast River and climbs beech forest, snow grass and a narrow ridge to Brewster Hut.
Coronado · USA · 2 MIN ·
A dirt-and-rock climb from East Montezuma Canyon Road reaches a large undeveloped cavern, where the approach’s loose footing and slick descent make preparation part of the outing.
