Albanian Coastal Trail

The Albanian Coastal Trail is a rugged multi-day trek traversing the Ionian coastline of the Albanian Riviera. Bounded by the Ceraunian Mountains to the east and the Ionian Sea to the west, the route connects the high Llogara Pass to the coastal town of Himarë and beyond to Lukovë. The trail is defined by its transition from high-altitude pine forests to isolated pebble beaches (Gjipe, Grama) and ancient Orthodox villages. It operates in an underdeveloped coastal wilderness zone where significant segments lack road access, requiring self-sufficiency and navigation through dense Mediterranean maquis and karst limestone terrain.

The world's longest outdoor museum. The Chilkoot Trail is a 53km (33-mile) legendary route that spans from Dyea, Alaska, across the Chilkoot Pass into British Columbia, Canada. It follows the exact path of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, where 'stampeders' were forced by the North-West Mounted Police to carry a ton of supplies across the summit in multiple trips. Today, the trail is littered with rusted stoves, leather boots, and broken machinery left behind over a century ago. You transition from coastal rainforest to the stark alpine 'Golden Stairs' and finally into the boreal forests of the Canadian north. It is a profound intersection of history and wilderness.
