A multi-cache series around Staveley, in the Lake District. One of the best that we have done. The link for the actual geocache is here.
Free parking in the brewery car park in the middle of Staveley. Wilf's Cafe is high recommended too.
One hour is enough to reach the peak of Morro do Canal. This part is pretty obvious and the trail is well marked. After that, to get to Morro do Vigia is not obvious at all and you can easily get lost. Go with a GPS or take a guide or take someone that has done this trail before.
A quick weekend trip since I had the time, but it was cut short due to bad weather that I didn't feel like sitting out without a fire. Nice area and the camping was bug free, but without a fire to keep me a little warmer and a lot less damp, I went home early.
If you can't come straight through the trail then I would recommend coming in from the Halfway Dump Access Point.
This is a pretty cool loop, starting near the Hanging Rock lake and heading up to Moore's Knob, then going down and heading back up to the parallel ridge and finally capping it off with a jaunt to Hanging Rock and returning where I started from. (Funny how loops work that way).Trip writeup at Two-Heel Drive.
Calf Creek Falls is one of the most well known and unique features in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The trail follows Calf Creek to the 126' high falls. The hike is 6 miles round trip and takes average hikers 3-4 hours. Elevation change on the trail is minimal, but the trail is sandy and walking can be strenuous, especially in hot weather.

I also have lots of other fun outdoor activities in and around Utah on my website: http://dyeclan.com/outdooractivities.
These include canoeing, canyoneering, caving, hiking, hot springs, rock
climbing, and fun places. The site's a work in progress, so check back
often.
This track represents two days of paddling from New Bern, NC to Oyster Point campground in the Croatan National Forest. On the third day of paddling, the trip concluded at Harkers Island visitor center but the final leg of the GPS tracking is, unfortunately, not available. A full trip report is available at the following link:http://zenkayaking.wordpress.
Another classic hike, for those who like a bit of a thrill and like looking down into big open spaces.

Excellent hike multiple waterfalls, wildflowers and scenery at Panthertown Valley in far southeaster North Carolina in the Nantahala National Forest. Trip writeup to come.
Buying a map is essential as many unmarked trails go to must-see locales.
