A Short Hike
Achievement guide · roadmap · tracker
A Short Hike is adamgryu's wholesome low-poly exploration game. You're Claire, a bird visiting your aunt Alma at Hawk Peak Provincial Park, trying to climb to the summit to get phone signal. It's built around gliding and climbing, collecting golden feathers that extend your stamina, and chatting to the park's animals. No fail states, no combat and nothing permanently missable - a pure sandbox you can freely re-explore, which makes 100% low-stress.
Full completion is short and very easy - roughly 2-3 hours, with no real skill barrier beyond two minor timed challenges. The set breaks into three groups: the story pair (
Recommended: play the story naturally, grabbing every golden feather you pass (you only need about 7 to reach the top, so extras are free progress). Before the final summit push, lend the fox 6 feathers so
Hawk Peak
CommonYou made it to the top!
The main goal. Climb and glide to the summit of Hawk Peak - you need about 7 golden feathers' worth of stamina for the cold final ascent, and the game funnels you there. Reaching the top triggers the phone call.
Feather Finder
CommonCollect 10 golden feathers.
Collect any 10 of the 20 golden feathers. They're found lying around, given by characters, or bought from the blue-bird vendor near the beach - it pops the moment your total hits 10, so it comes naturally on the way up.
The End
CommonTake a nice long nap.
After reaching the summit, return to your aunt's cabin at the base and interact with it to accept the invitation to nap - this rolls the credits.
Remember This Day Forever
UncommonSuccessfully hit the ball 30 times in a row while playing Beachstickball.
Find the Beachstickball game on the beach north of the Old Building and keep a single rally going to 30 hits: hold run, watch the ball's shadow, and tap strike when you're under it.
Parkour Master
UncommonBeat each parkour race once.
Win all 3 parkour races once each - at the Lighthouse (east), the Old Building (north) and Hawk Peak (southeast). Each is a flag-to-flag glide-and-climb course against Avery.
Photo Friends
UncommonGet your photo taken! You can do this at the peak of the mountain.
Near the top of the climb you meet a hiker fox - lend him 6 of your golden feathers so he can make the ascent (so you'll want about 10+ spare). Reach the summit, then talk to him at the top and he'll take a photo together.
Feathers Forever
UncommonFind every feather.
Collect all 22 feathers - 20 golden plus 2 silver. The silver ones are special (one comes from returning the pocketwatch to the ram near the trailers). Use a map/collectible guide to hunt down the stragglers.
Crispy
UncommonEat a piece of toast.
A real-time-clock gag. Read the sign near the Visitor Centre campfire, set your system clock to just after 5 PM, then talk to the goat ranger there - she offers "Strawberries and Toast". Eat the toast from your inventory.
The Fish Are Biting Today
RareTrade every species of fish from the journal.
Get the fishing rod from the fisher at Fisherman's lake, catch every fish species listed in your journal, and trade each to the boat captain in the east. Completing the journal earns the golden rod and this achievement.
Not A Scratch
RareComplete the boating challenge in under 45 seconds.
Rent a motorboat (100 coins) and complete the boating challenge in under 45 seconds - accelerate through every checkpoint on the tightest line.
Only You Can Prevent Campfires
RarePut out all the campfires.
Get a bucket (one's found on the way up, and it's reusable), fill it in water, and put out a campfire four times. It needn't be four different fires - you can walk away, let the same one reignite, and douse it again.
Green Thumb
RareWater every sprout.
Pick up a bucket, fill it at any water source, and water every one of the 27 sprouts in the park (each becomes a bounce flower). A locations guide helps you find them all.
