April destination ideasInterest forums / Trekking & Mountaineering | ||
Hi, can anyone suggest a destination for the start of April for a mountain walking holiday? I would like to do it in the style of using one place to stay as a base and drive to different locations for walks into the mountains each day, as I do in the UK in places like the lakedistrict. I do have a lot of trekking experience but due time constraint don't have time to organise anything big so just looking for a simple trip in my Easter holiday. Thanks, | ||
Southern Marocco is possible. Also the Lycian Way in Turkey (but that's more for backpacking). Further away, Southern Utah in the U.S. Possibly India (Uttarakhand). | 1 | |
I agree, if you're up for the flight (to Las Vegas - cheap flights and rental cars) - southern Utah, USA. | 2 | |
Kasturi trek or the Karvendal area in the Austrian-German Alps. | 3 | |
Andalusia (Spain). | 4 | |
Wouldn't be bad to be more precise... | 5 | |
I am going on a vacation much like the one you are planning. Therefore I will share my plan because it might inspire you. I have rented a car in Charlotte, NC, and I will drive South along the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway where there are numerous hiking opportunities including Linville Gorge and the Shining Rock/Cold Mountain area. The Parkway ends in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park where there are hundreds for great hiking routes. I will use the car as my base and sleep in it and it will take me to the trailheads.
