If you've been here before, welcome back! We've been working hard to fill in the many areas we originally created space for, but never constructed. Over the past two weeks the Ten Best Treks are nearly completed, with the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim and Milford Treks added. In addition the accompanying photographs were enlarged for your viewing pleasure. Finally, we've started our Gear Heads section with general descriptions and advice for your trekking and hiking equipment needs. Shortly, specific recommendations on equipment as well as a photo story on the Routeburn and Kepler treks in New Zealand will be added; so check back often.

Please contact us by sending an email to JeffSalvage@GreatTreks.com with the basic information pertaining to the trek or hike you are interested in coveringl.
