10 Best Hikes In The World
Trimming the world’s best hikes down to 10 is incredibly difficult, just ask the folks at Gadling.com.

Follow this link to learn more about the list-maker’s thought process, as well as to learn a little more about each trek.
In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at the 10 lucky winners:
- Mt. Whitney, California
- Salkantay Trek, Peru
- Timberline Trail, Oregon
- Everest Base Camp, Nepal
- Appalachian Trail, North Carolina
- Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Thanks for the comments! I’ll be in Utah next week, but sadly won’t be able to get down to Zion Narrows. Won’t be able to get much past Salt Lake City…do you happen to know of any must-hikes up that way?
Now I’m a bit biased since I live in Utah, but I really feel Zion Narrows is an experience of a life-time – something you can’t get just anywhere. A lot of tourists just hike from the bottom-up a few miles and get just a glimpse of the true beauties the canyons have to offer. But if you are looking for breath-taking views and aren’t afraid of doing some swimming, I would recommend everyone hiking top to bottom as an overnight backpacking trip. Probably one of my favorite trips of my life.
