Best Hikes in the World- To Try Before You Die

[@AliceFordAdventures]

What's next on your hiking list? Have any of these hikes made your list?

[@AliceFordAdventures]

@@realitywave I’d have to disagree mostly with that as it’s actually very frowned upon in most places as habitat is very sensitive and people tend to follow others

[@AliceFordAdventures]

@@realitywave yes, that’s true thank you

[@2manysigns]

I mostly go in my imagination to all of yours . Too busy lol .

[@mikekuhl2658]

Next big hike I am planning is the Swiss alpine Pass Route, also known as the Via Alpina 1. The scenery will be incredible.

[@joseph40ninjas88]

The Highline Trail - Glacier NP is one of my favorite hikes. Big horn sheep strolled right by and kept me company

[@AliceFordAdventures]

That’s wonderful I haven’t had a chance to hike that yet

[@ervinslens]

Absolutely stunning upload and you narrated this just beautifully!

You too thanks have a great weekend

@Alice Ford Digging out here in NH, lots of heavy wet snow ❄️ 😳😁Thank you Alice 🙏🙂

[@jonmatthews4476]

Great Video! I'm definitely adding some of these to my bucket list!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Great to hear

[@Jetmab04]

Thank you so much! I once got a book called "1000 places to visit before you die" and, I'll just add your list here to that one 😊 Just home from some beautiful hikes in Santo Antao, Cape Verde (elevation 2000 meters, quite challenging and, the Atlantic Ocean all around) just off the West African coast and, definitely a place for me to go back. Thanks again for sharing all these stunning places!! 🌹🌹🌹

[@seektruth707]

Cool video Alice. That's a unique and diverse list of hikes for sure.

[@richardcrowson2080]

Great video Alice! If you get the weather, the west highland way in Scotland is truly incredible....

[@chrisrichter4485]

Great list! I'll have to be sure to check of few of these off my list. My favorite hike is the Highline trail in Glacier National Park.

[@wildernesscapes]

I've backpacked the Kalalau Trail, Milford Track, Three Capes Tasmania, Annapurna Circuit, Laugavegur Iceland, and Torres Del Paine O trek.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

WOW you are incredible way to go! Did you have a favorite

[@wildernesscapes]

@@AliceFordAdventures each was an adventure and great, but probably the Torres del Paine full circuit was my favorite - went in late fall and all alone (saw no one for days) on the back side going over that pass in waste deep snow, post-holing, soaking wet, very windy, if I didn't keep going and get over the pass and find shelter in the woods lower it would've been bad. I really lived right up to the edge back then!

[@dearmountains3431]

Researching the W hike now 😀

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I’ve only ever heard fantastic things but book far advance as the campsites book out quickly

[@ramzib.1092]

Just came back from 3 weeks in Patagonia last month (did the W, glaciers, Fitz Roy... etc). It is a must! Amazing! Be prepared for serious WIND and delicious food! :) TMB is next, in June (which will be my 6/20 on Alice Ford's list) lol

[@AliceFordAdventures]

@@ramzib.1092 amazing! I certainly had a time choosing between W and Fitz Roy hope to do it myself next year

[@languagetraveller]

Milford in New Zealand is absolutely magnificent, but I’d recommend Routeburn track instead, since it rains in Milford soooo much and you risk not seeing much during the trek. I went on a cruise in Milford Sound and absolutely loved it (it rained as well, but oh boy was it incredible). My friend did the Milford track and not only was it extremely expensive, but it rained every day and she couldn’t see much. I absolutely LOVED hiking in New Zealand during my working holiday, some more hikes/treks I’d recommend: Abel Tasman Coastal Track, Kepler Track, Robert’s Point track and of course Tongariro Alpine crossing. Stunning, just stunning scenery ❤

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks so much for all those suggestions

[@massytassymasalesa1189]

I want to start hiking thank you for this insight

[@charlieintampa6769]

Well done, Alice! Whenever I watch "top N" themed videos I rarely hear anything I did not already know, but you gave a bunch of good ideas. Thanks!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Charlie I am so glad to hear that.

[@counghoang]

We’ll explain Alice ! I always wonder what’s the most beneficial experience you get while you’re hiking besides the beautiful scenery

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Confidence, fitness, mental conditioning and overall mental and physical health.

[@ramzib.1092]

@@AliceFordAdventures I like your answer and it is applicable to some people. But I think it gives an incomplete picture of being a hiker. I've just watched your Dolomites video and it didn't seem to me that you were just "improving your self-confidence". Most avid hikers don't lack self--confidence. Quite the contrary. In fact, you were [rightfully] bragging, in the Dolomites video, about how brave you are. I've always thought about why people climb Everest for example, or free solo the Eiger. It is certainly not just to improve fitness, build up some confidence and maintain mental health. To me it is much more. It is self-fulfillment. Testing what you are made of. Conquering your limits. Or (when I want to give an easy to understand response) challenging myself. It is the same reason that motivates some to train daily to win the Olympics, or to study long nights to discover a cure for cancer... achieving your best self. . Just sharing some thoughts :)

[@Mike-qs6fl]

Nice video! On-screen the GR20 Corsica is shown as 4,000 feet of height gain which is 1200 metres, whereas it is 42,000 feet/12,000 metres, as you actually say!😎Keep up the good work!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Mike, good catch, I seemed to have had a few spelling and grammar errors in this video.

[@thenwhathappened8011]

Amazing video!

[@jordancook1668]

Very hard to argue with this list. Excellent job.

[@kellylliam]

Very inspiring thank you! Just an fyi, the West Coast Trail does not go thru the Great Bear Rainforest, the bottom of the GBR is on the north east side of Vancouver Island :) Next week I'm on the WCT and in August the Tatchu Trail, above Nootka Island. I've done all the BC trails you mentioned, so good. For more Vancouver Island trails, try Nootka Island for a sweet little adventure, pretty easy and the North Coast Trail, a bit more challenging, but so wonderful. Thanks for the trails you mentioned, so inspiring :)

[@brandonsanders9674]

I would long to hike along with Alice! 😉👍

[@philbest427]

OMG Alice ! Thanks for your expert travel advice. I have been hiking since 2018 and really share your passion ! You have been everywhere and then some.

[@2011woodlands]

The Bruce Trail in Ontario is 890 km long, there has to be more than 60+ rails to trails of varying lengths in Michigan, shore to shore trail is 220 miles, north country trail, white pine trails, numerous trails around the Sleeping Bear Dunes, i still think hiking the Hadrian Wall in the UK would be interesting.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks John, Hadrian Wall was on my larger list as well. Its a great walk

[@dwarsfluitistje]

Next big hike for me, will be the MIUT in Madeira. It's supposed to be stunning too. Happy hiking!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I love Madeira! Great hiking there

[@neilquinn]

I almost did that but bailed to day hikes and was kind of glad I did. Was extremely hot and steep. Most of the inner island is just all green so views are sorta limited. The Areeiro/Ruivo hike area is cool but would be brutal with a full pack haha. IMO I'd pick another location for a big backpacking trip unless you've been a lot of other places already. Not a bad trip but not my favorite.

[@jeffdoyle2066]

Did it last year on a beautiful day in January. Wow.

[@jpo566]

Thanks, I really enjoyed jt

[@opticracer3927]

So great to see you Alice. Have you thought of doing a training video? Like basic conditioning for beginner hikers?

[@radisson8627]

Great assemble of hikes. Awesome video. My backpack is currently screaming to get out there, and I can't wait for the warm season to begin. I do not have definitive plans this year but Cape Scott on Vancouver Island in British Columbia has been on my list for some time. If I had to pick a hike overseas, I would be tempted to do the Santiago de Compostela trail in Spain, probably not the entire length but hike a few days to have a better feel of the area 🇨🇦🥾☯️😎🏔

[@AliceFordAdventures]

The trail in Spain was on my larger list, surely a wonderful one to have on your bucketlist.

[@KeithDuhaime]

Great review! Already done a number of them. A few more to add to the list; Grizzly Lake Trail in Tombstone Territorial Park, The Chilkoot Trail from Alaska into Canada, The Rockwall in Kootenay National Park, and as an alternative to West Coast Trail, check out Nootka Island Trail.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Keith I will check these out for sure

[@normancarbajal5154]

Tour Mont Blanc is on my list Alice! 👍…

[@neilquinn]

Good list I've hit a number of these or some variant of them. Done: TMB, 1/2 of Kalalau, Inca trail instead of salkantay, Tugela falls, day hikes on 3 capes and grand canyon, and routeburn instead of milford. Add some of the other high regions of peru to your list like Huayhash trek/Santa Cruz. Also it's spelled Colombia not Columbia - you're gonna make people angry :) Laugavegur is probably next for me and then Patagonia. I want to do dolomites/alta via but already did Italy so kind of want to wait on that.

[@Optidorf]

So far I did three of them: Laugavegur, Alta Via I and the Salkantay. I understand the appeal of adding Tour du Mont Blanc to such a list, but there are a number of trails in the Alps that are better than the TMB: Haute Route, Tour de Matterhorn, ... One trail I really want to highlight is the Fitzroy Massive in El Chalten which is imho even more beautiful than Torres del Paine. I did my best hike ever over there. Also Africa has some really nice trails. I want to hike the Rwenzori Mountains but given the instable situation in the border region with Congo it won't be for any time soon unfortunately.

There are so many amazing hikes, it was hard to choose!

[@tabbi888]

I saw a documentary about a family that were nearly washed away and drowned by a flash flood in buckskin gultch.there was even video footage of it it looked pretty harrowing just how fast it was filling up the speed and sheer volume of water rushing through was surprising. So I'd definitely take the narrators warnings seriously about wet weather and rain in the area. The family got out but it was a close call.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

OOh that must have been terrifying. Slot canyons are treacherous places when there is wet weather, glad they survived.
