Backpacking and Hiking Trails

There are countless hiking trails in the United States, but three North/South national scenic trails stand out. These three trails are commonly referred to as the "Triple Crown": the Appalachian Trail, (perhaps the most famous hiking trail in the world); the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail, which offers the most rugged long-distance hiking in the contiguous 48 states.

Several new trail systems have been established for long hikes. These include, but are not limited to, the Sea-To-Sea Route, and the The Great Western Loop.
