Walker’s Haute Route East offers a condensed version of the Full Haute Route for those who need a shorter journey. This seven-day, 70-mile adventure begins in Arolla and ends in Zermatt, traversing some of the highest peaks in the Alps. Though tough, it’s an exhilarating experience that combines stunning mountain landscapes, charming Alpine villages, and delicious local food.
Mike and his brother David are walking this trail in August/September 2024. Click the link below to follow their progress.
As if on a grand roadshow, the Camino Francés takes you through a diverse lineup of Spain's northern regions: Navarre, La Rioja, Castile and León, and Galicia. You'll find yourself marveling at Gothic cathedrals one moment and strolling through vineyards the next, with stunning landscapes thrown in for good measure.
Mike walked from Leon to Santiago in 2010 which is one-half of the trail.
He returned in the Fall of 2023 to walk the complete route from St. Jean Pied de Port, France to Santiago, Spain.
The Camino Portugues, or Portuguese Camino, is a stunning alternative to the Camino Frances, for pilgrims looking for a more rural experience on the Camino de Santiago.
