Our Great Hiking Giveaway is now over. In total, we had 171 eligible submissions with great pictures and memories from Mt. Rainier, Alaska, the Himalayas, Tanzania and beautiful places all around the world. Frankly, it was a good thing this was a random drawing, because it would have been challenging to select a winner any other way. Speaking of winners….
Congratulations, Renee T., from Marina del Rey , CA!
Renee wins a Dream Hiking Package worth approximately $1000, including great gear from KEEN and Merrell! Thank you, Renee, for sharing your photo and memory of a great hike in the Lake District of Northern England. In case you missed her picture in our Favorite Hikes Facebook album, here it is:

And, so you get the full sense of it, here is Renee’s memory of the hike:
“The intoxicating sensation that fills each of us once we peak the summit, is one that cannot be captured in words and only partially understood through a picture. This was one of many photos from the top of Jack’s Rake in the Lake District of Northern England. We scrambled and trekked up with a group of students through the steep crevices of the mountain face.The trip was life changing and this hike; indescribable and surreal.
I have left my heart on many trails, found the beauty in simplicity of a rainstorm on a valley floor thousands of feet below and discovered how far I can truly push myself on a climb…but my time spent in the Lakes, friendships made and memories created make this hike and picture my favorite.”
We have put together an amazing album of hikes and memories, and hope you not only enjoy the images, but are inspired by these fantastic places and people and get out there and hike.
Please enjoy your album of Favorite Hikes, and feel free to share the link with your friends.
