What You Need To Know Before Attempting the (Legal) Haiku Stairway Hike
If you’ve dreamed of climbing to the top of the famed ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ the Haiku Stairs, in Oahu, Hawaii, but were bummed to realize that it’s actually illegal to climb the stairs, themselves, then I’ve got some good news! There’s actually a perfectly legal hike that brings you to the exact same viewpoint you would get to if you were to climb the actual stairs!
Inspiring Hikes: Chimney Rock
This week’s inspiring hike comes from Chimney Rock State Park, located near Lake Lure, a small town near Asheville, North Carolina. This hike puts some of the most beautiful views in North Carolina on display, along with waterfalls, wildlife and so much more.
Inspiring Hikes: The Window at Big Bend
The Window hike is a roughly-five-mile out-and-back trail located at Big Bend National Park in west Texas, USA. It’s a highly-trafficked route that begins in the Chisos Basin campgrounds and has an unbelievable payoff of a view at the bottom of the trek. Today we’ll be learning exactly what makes this hike so worthwhile.
