Hiking in Hawaii

I'm planning to go hiking in Hawaii this September. I bought an old LP "Hiking in Hawaii", but all hikes there are short, the longest one is 4 days. As I understand the most beautiful Hawaii island is Kauai, and there are too some short hikes. Is it possible to do multi day hike around Kauai without staying in hotels and sleeping in a tent?
Any thoughts about/other ideas?
Thanxx,

trekking locations for DIY trip with infant / pack animals?

I'm here seeking suggestions for a trekking area. We have time available during the northern winter. We will have an infant. We would like to walk for perhaps three weeks or so. We like rugged and remote terrain, but obviously can't do anything technical right now.
Ideally it would be a place where pack animals are available and where there is an active tradition of their use...where they are expected on the trail and arrangements can be made for feed or grazing. I know how to go light, but the kid still changes the game. I have experience and equipment for horse or llama packing. I have some preference for llamas with the infant just because things can't go as badly wrong and I won't know these animals.
I would love a place where it would be reasonably secure to bivouac along the way under a simple tarp. Or pay a bit to sleep in someone's field overnight. There wo... more »

Looking for Chamonix (and possible Matterhorn) climbing partner

Hey all! I'm a 23 year old Canadian guy who's been living in Grenoble, France for the past few months doing a Masters. I'm planning on spending the last two weeks of June (probably from the 12th-27th) in Chamonix to climb as much as possible before heading back to Canada for the summer! If anyone is planning on being in the area during this time, please let me know! I'm planning on living VERY cheaply while I'm there (bringing the old bivy sack) and have got all the climbing gear (ropes, rock pro, ice screws etc) needed to climb a bunch of cool things! The only mountain on the tick list this summer is Mont Blanc but I'd love to try Grands Jorasses and any other cool looking mountains in the area as well!!

I'd also reeeaalllyyy like to find a climbing partner for the Matterhorn if anyone's keen :)

I prefer alpinism but am game for anything really. I also love climbing big mount... more »

Looking for trekking companion Haute Route Switzerland

To be more accurate (but there wasn't enough room in the heading), the trek begins at Chamonix France and ends at Zermott Switzerland. No guide is required. It is a strenuous but not tehnical (no ropes etc) trek. It's laid out in a book that's the bible for the trek. 14 days, maximum 9000 ft, 12,000 meters total elevation gain. The book outlines what's an average of 7 hr hiking per day, from what I can see about an average of 2800 ft elevation gain per day. Then staying in accomodations in villages ranging from a choice of hostels and guesthouses to luxurious accomodations (I would be looking for budget unless perhaps -2 nights to splurge for the experience).

I am male, NOT young but I am VERY fit and am an experienced four season (including winter conditions) mountain hiker. I live near Boston, USA. I was planning to go with a woman I know from hiking in my area who is an adve... more »
