Climber Calls Denali a 'Hellscape' After Epic Solo

Balin Miller just soloed the legendary Slovak Direct on Denali—yep, the first person ever to do it alone! After 53 days battling the Alaska Range, he called it a 'hellscape' and is stoked to be done. Only 20 teams have ever finished this brutal route since the '80s. And get this: he spent 70% of his 56-hour push sleeping! Wild. Some debate on his other solo claims, but no one’s questioning this one. Would you ever try something this intense? #Denali #Climbing #Adventure #News

5,000 Kilometers and No One Tells You This

We’re 65 and 64, walking across Europe because we can. Today we reached Hegyes-Kö, Hungary—a border town most people drive past without stopping. Our feet ache. My wife’s knee clicks. We argue about bread, about maps, about why we’re even doing this. No one tells you that the hardest part isn’t the distance. It’s waking up in a strange bed, realizing you’re still you. The world doesn’t hand out epiphanies just because you cross a border. Sometimes, it just hands you another hill. But every day, we lace up our boots. Not because we’re chasing youth, but because we’re stubborn enough to keep going, even when the scenery blurs and the novelty wears off. #Travel #Adventure travel #LongWalkHome

4 DAY NAPA VALLEY ITINERARY!

Wine, cheese, and breathtaking views - Napa Valley has it all! I recently spent 4 unforgettable days in this picturesque region, and I'm excited to share my itinerary and tips with you. So, let's raise a glass and dive into the world of Napa Valley! Getting to Napa: 🚗 Renting a car may not be practical if you plan on wine tasting. Instead, we relied on rideshare services. You'll find plenty of Ubers and Lyfts at SFO, and the ride to Napa cost around $90. Keep in mind that traffic can affect travel time and cost. Where to Stay: 🏨 We chose to stay in downtown Napa for its convenience and accessibility. The Cambria was a great choice, offering modern amenities and an excellent breakfast. However, if you want a more luxurious experience, consider The Meritage Resort and Spa or The Archer Hotel. 4 Day Napa Itinerary: 🍷 Day 1: Arrive in Napa, check-in, and head to Domaine Carneros for a sparkling wine tasting. Enjoy dinner at Tarla Mediterranean Grill. 🍷 Day 2: Start in Castaligo with a tasting at Larkmead, then visit Charles Krug and V. Sattui in Saint Helena. Finish off the day with a tasting and cave experience at Del Dotto Estates, and dinner at Farmstead. 🍷 Day 3: After a hot air balloon ride, visit Frog Leap and Far Niente for tastings. Indulge in a relaxing massage at The Meritage Resort and Spa, and savor drinks at Sky and Vine rooftop bar. End the day with dinner at Oenotri. 🍷 Day 4: Explore Napa by bike on the Napa Valley Vine Trail. Stop at Bouchon Bakery in Yountville for breakfast, visit Oxbow Market, and enjoy wine tastings at Alpha Omega and St. Clair Brown Winery. Finally, check out of your hotel and head back to San Francisco. Make sure to book your winery reservations in advance. Tastings can range from $40 to $150, but many wineries waive the fee if you join their wine club. Don't forget to relax and take in the stunning views. Napa Valley is a one-of-a-kind destination that will leave you with cherished memories. Cheers! 🍇🍷 #NapaValley #WineTasting #TravelGuide #NapaItinerary #Wineries #Vineyards #Relaxation #FoodandDrink #NapaGetaway #Adventure
