Returning home is the most difficult part of long-distance hiking; You have grown outside the puzzle and your piece no longer fits.

Utvandrarleden, Sweden
Approximately 110 kilometres around, the Utvandraleden, or Emigrants Trail is a picturesque hike giving you a chance to see some of the sights of Vilhelm Moberg’s quadrilogy of tales.
06 - Mweka Camp - Mweka Gate
Other than a short rocky section similar to the final stretch to Mweke Camp, the trail is in good condition, but almost everything was aching for the final descent.
05 - Barafu Camp - Mweka Camp
You' start the hike at the edge of the Alpine Desert, after about an hour of climbing in the dark you enter the Arctic Zone, but it is incredibly hard to know when you’ve actually reached this point as you are hiking in darkness and seeing very little but the ground under your feet.
04 - Barranco Camp - Barafu Camp
Imposing, and surrounding Barranco camp on three sides, the climb up is challenging, but rated as a ‘scramble’ so you don’t need to be an expert. A lot of sites call it the ‘Death Wall’ and throw around terrifying descriptions of how you have to hug the wall to avoid plummeting to your death.
03 - Shira Camp - Barranco Camp
The Lava Tower is impressive, rising up in front of the campsite, dark stone causing a shadow over the tents. Its easily visble from some distance due to the flat plain around it.
02 Machame Camp - Shira Camp
Machame is nestled in the forest, and so is quite free from wind. It also is layed out in clearings and so each group has some small level of privacy from each other.
01 - Machame Gate - Machame Camp
The Gate is one of a handful of entrances to Kilimanjaro and the start of the Machame Route. Many tours will prepare a lunch or breakfast for hikers on their trips, served in covered terraces with seating and long tables.
