Everest Base Camp (EBC)

The steps of giants. The Everest Base Camp trek is more than a hike; it is a pilgrimage to the highest point on Earth. Starting with a thrilling flight into Lukla, the trail winds through the vibrant Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, past ancient monasteries like Tengboche, and through high-alpine landscapes dominated by often regarded as one of the most famous peaks: Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Everest itself. Reaching the base camp (5,364m) at the foot of the tumbling Khumbu Icefall is a life-changing achievement that places you at the very heart of mountaineering history.

The Highline Trail is the signature, marquee hike of Glacier National Park. True to its name, this spectacular path hugs the sheer, exposed rock wall of the Continental Divide high above the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road. Because the trail starts at the high elevation of Logan Pass, hikers get immediate, sweeping panoramic views of jagged peaks, deep U-shaped glaciated valleys, and hanging snowfields without having to endure a grueling ascent through a forest. The trail traverses scenic alpine meadows filled with wildflowers, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats, eventually reaching the historic stone Granite Park Chalet.
