Autumn is hiking season. It’s time to dig out your activewear, lace up your sneakers, fill your S’well, and head outside. Here are five hikes that will give you gorgeous views along with their strenuous miles.

Vulcano: Head up an active volcano for the smell of rotten eggs, steam-spurting fissures, a panoramic view of the islands north of Sicily, and the starting-to-set sun on the Aeolian Islands.

Kumano Kodō: Find a waterfall that tumbles over two rocks, a green cedar forest, a Shinto shrine, a Tendai Buddhist temple, and a sacred camphor tree along the Nakahechi Route in Japan.
