Seven of the Most Beautiful Hiking Trails In The World
TheOffroader 2018-01-295) The Great Western Loop, U.S.A
The United States boasts a plethora of challenging, wonderfully scenic and enticing long-distance trails – so many that choosing a favorite is just about as difficult as walking them! To simplify things and ease the decision, we’ve chosen an as-yet largely unknown gem that incorporates sections of a number of other trails and takes in the best of the west like no other.
The GWL sweeps through dozens of hiking areas along its massive, highlight-heavy course, linking together the Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Grand Enchantment Trail and Arizona Trail, and passing through a total of twelve national parks and 75 wilderness areas! At 6,875 miles long, the GWL is a biggie and requires a fair bit of planning, but as far as once-in-a-lifetime hikes go they don’t come much better!
