I was really proud of having been able to go through all of it. And I actually realized that the winter is not too bad. Call me crazy, but as I've already mentioned before, the lower humidity in Winnipeg makes things better! Sure, in the thermometer you would still see -20 or -30 C (if your thermometer actually gets that low).

It is a hot and physically demanding thing to do so you will need to take plenty of water and maybe some grub for a snack when you get on top. Took us about 40 min to get to the summit and when you reach it, the views are incredible. Could see shafts of sunlight breaking through the clouds over the higher mountains of Oahu and further on, the high rises of Waikiki were visible to the right of Diamond Head.

The widening of the road allowed wagons to be pulled up and over the mountains. Travel along the road was always treacherous and you had to be on your guard as extremely strong winds would slam the traveler at every turn as they flowed up and over the cliffs and ridge tops.

It's doable, but you have to be fit to try. I ran out of steam half way through!

For cruises near Iquitos city, the pick of the crop are the Delfin I and the Delfin II. The Delfin I is a luxury cruise where you can relax in your personal spa while watching the rainforest gently pass your bedroom.

Hiking is also a possibility during the milder parts of winter. Smoky Mountains National Park has numerous hiking trails spanning hundreds of miles across the Appalachian Trail. In the park's lower elevations, temperatures reach at least 50 degrees around half the time in winter months, with some days even reaching the 70s. Therefore, there are still plenty of hiking opportunities during the winter months on trials like Porters Creek, Little River and Abrams Falls.
