These hikes usually involve peaks, valleys, or canyons where all that danger-driven adrenaline rewards you with the opportunity to stand at the pinnacle of a spectacularly vertiginous vista point and cry out, "Look at me! I'm on top of the world!" Yosemite's Half-Dome is just such a location. Hawaii's iconic yet dangerous Kalalau Trail is another. One of the buzziest and busiest of them all is the hike up Angels Landing in Southern Utah's Zion National Park.

With a few exceptions, you probably don't touch — or perhaps even think about — your passport until you're prepping for your next vacation abroad.

The worst scenario, though, is realizing your passport expired just days before your trip. That's why it's smart to renew it well before it expires. How early, you ask? Aim for nine months in advance. And believe it or not, the easiest way to renew is still the old-school way: snail mail.
