Explore Scrambles
Scrambling is a hike up steep terrain (usually a scree field) involving the use of one’s hands. Scrambling is considered more “advanced hiking” and should only be practiced by experienced hikers, or those who are hiking with more experienced adventurers.
Here are a few of my scrambling trail guides, but you can find them all here:
