I’m not going to lie, between setting alerts to snag one of the coveted 60 daily permits to tracking down camping gear, it’s had a few more moving parts than I originally expected. These types of adventures are what spurred managing editor Alex Butler to launch our series Lonely Plan-it. In it, one of our experts takes you step-by-step through planning a “more complicated than initially anticipated” trip. This week features another hike with magnificent views: Italy’s iconic “Path of the Gods" along the Amalfi Coast. The 7km (4.34 mile) trail “sweeps through olive groves, terraces and magnificent expanses of blue sky and wine-dark sea” according to writer Eva Sandoval, who gives you easy-to-follow directions for your own journey. - Melissa Yeager, Senior Editor (P.S.
