Escape to a truly unique alpine desert high in the White Mountains. To reach Pachnes, you'll need a 4x4 vehicle to navigate the rugged road from Anopolis, which is an adventure in itself. From where the road ends, it's a straightforward and rewarding hike of about 1.5 hours to the summit. You'll be trekking through a surreal, moon-like landscape with breathtaking panoramic views that make you feel like you're on top of the world.
