Walking the Wild: Hike the Peaks of the Balkans trail across Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro, with Monique Cherrier and Ken Garrison

Trek with Mountaineers Monique Cherrier and Ken Garrison on the Peaks of the Balkans trail, through a a remote hiking landscape of green valleys and wildflower-strewn meadows under blazing sunshine, with the gunmetal-grey jagged peaks towering overhead, and abandoned bunkers underfoot, crossing through the three countries of Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro, considered some of Europe's’ least-explored landscapes.  

They will talk about the travel considerations, hiking conditions, lodging, and unique aspects of culture, nature and highlights of visiting this unique and remote region of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
