  • Journeys DEAR Friends
    2020 JOUrNEYS DEAR FrIENDS, I’m writing this letter, as I do most every year, from the porch of an old cabin on Flathead Lake in northwestern Montana. It always seems right to reconnect with you from this perspective. There’s a long, family-ready table, and a line of “happy hooks” on the wall waiting for the next wet explorer to slosh in and grab a towel. On still mornings, the gin-clear lake reflects a great big world and compels me to stop, take it in, and enjoy some reflection of my own. It is the privilege of my professional life to do what I do. The entire team at Off the Beaten Path is honored to be your partner in travel and lead you to far-flung places, where you will be happily compelled to stop, take it in, and reflect. Undoubtedly, travel is one of the most important and meaningful elements of life. Travel opens the door to places that change you, and moments when you feel a definite, powerful shift... Emerging in the cool morning hours from your desert tent in the Sahara to climb the nearest dune, nuzzle into the silky sand, and watch a sunrise that pierces your heart with its astonishing beauty. Shift. Change. Such rare moments are your reward for leaving home to step across an unfamiliar threshold. In these pages, we offer our best suggestions for places and experiences that will change your life—from new destinations in Europe and Africa to bellwether locales and national parks in Alaska, the American West, and Latin America.

We are passionate about South America Travel, and we're happy to share with you our favorite Buenos Aires restaurants, our insider's tips for Machu Picchu, or our secret colonial gems of Brazil, and anything else you’re eager to know. The idea to create SouthAmerica.travel first came to Co-Founders Juergen Keller and Bradley Nehring while traveling through Brazil's Amazon Rainforest. The two noticed few international travelers, and those they did meet had struggled to arrange the trip by themselves. Expertise in custom travel planning to Brazil was scarce to nonexistent. This inspired the duo to start their own travel business to fill this void and help travelers plan great trips to Brazil, and later all South America. With five offices on three continents, as well as local telephone numbers in 88 countries worldwide, the SouthAmerica.travel Team has helped thousands of travelers fulfill their unique dream of discovering the marvelous and diverse continent of South America.

  • NEW ZEALAND NOTES·, 1954-5 by DAVID HALL
    • NEW ZEALAND NOTES, 1954-5 39 1 . NEW ZEALAND NOTES·, 1954-5 By DAVID HALL HE last climbing season was notable for two things : first, the early disappearance of snow providing in early January conditions which might have been expected six weeks later ; second, the high death roll in accidents. A consequence of the lack of snow was that much rock was exposed which would have been concealed at a normal Christmas season and many slopes were uncompromisingly hard ice which would normally · have been steep, firm snow; everyone in fact had to work fairly hard for the climbs they did. But some very good climbs were done. The existence (or should one say the ' invention ') of new ten­ thousanders must be a perpetual menace to the peace of mind of those few choice spirits who have achieved what they hoped was an unfading garland with the ascent of all the peaks in New Zealand over 1o,ooo ft. However, Mount ' Magellan ' is not positively claimed as definitely 1o,ooo ft., although it must closely approximate to it. (Throughout these notes names cited in inverted commas have yet to receive the approval of the Geographic Board.) ' Magellan ' lies on the Balfour Range spur of Mount Teichelmann, and its first ascent was made in February by Guide Harry Ayres with B. S. Gillies and Sir Edmund Hillary and D. G. Herron; the two parties climbed some of the day on one rope. They ieft the Haast Hut at 2 A.M., were· at the summit of Teichelmann by way of Clarke Saddle by 10.45 A.M., reached their objective, after traversing a long teetery crest of snow interrupted by a formidable rock tower, at 4 P.M., and returned to the Haast Hut by the route of ascent twenty-four hours after setting forth.
