- In honor of legendary climber Sir Edmund Hillary, a new four-day walking trail will open in New Zealand's Waitakere Ranges near Auckland. Hillary had discussed plans to create the trail before he passed away in 2008. The 70-kilometer trail will pass along the Karekare, Piha, Anawhata, Te Henga, and Muriwai beaches, an area explored by five generations of the Hillary family since the 1920s. The trail is expected to officially open early next year. [NewZealand.com]

A good place for a gap year travel destination for X-games training. This place is definitely for extreme sports especially snowboarding, skiiing and other snow sports.
