Hiking Iapetus

Post by azdesertfather »

Wouldn't you like to hike this one?! It's the ultimate mountain climb in our solar system: this range ascends to over 65,000ft & is over 100mi wide. It stretches 3/4 of the way around the planet like a belt. Cool photos here too, looks like a black planet.

I'll get around to this after I hike Olympus Mons from bottom to top.

@azdesertfather I did it once and won't do it again. It is just to hard to find water.

My Cherokee gets me to a lot of remote hiking spots, but something tells me no matter what mods I do, it will never be a good choice for interplanetary travel.
