Extreme Treks

Join Ryan Pyle as he attempts to reach the "Roof of Africa."

Glacier National Park is an American treasure. With its pristine forests, alpine meadows, and rugged mountains, it is a world like none other.

The Taklamakan Desert is 105,000 square miles of sand, dunes, and gravel. Join Ryan's journey deep into the remote desert, where endless waves of sand stretch far into the horizon.

The Salkantay is a trek connecting the city of Mollepata with Machu Picchu. It consists of an ancient footpath where snowcapped mountains collide with lush tropical rain forests.

Formally known as the Kingdom of Lo, the Mustang Kingdom was once part of Tibet and became part of Nepal in the 1950s. Few tourists had ventured through this high-altitude desert.

The Dolomites are full of cables originally put into place during the fierce battles fought in northern Italy during World War 1, full of remnants and stories.

Starting in the desert lowlands, Ryan follows rugged trails between picturesque mountain villages, each with its groves of date palms and intricately terraced fields.
