Looking to add more long distance backpacking/thru hiking routes to my bucket list
Hey y'all, looking for recommendations for long haul hikes to do with my sweet girl. I've already done Lost Coast and am planning to do Tahoe Rim this next year.
Already on my list are
- Oregon Coast
- Idaho Centennial
- Colorado Trail (minus the first 7 miles at the northern terminus)
- Superior Hiking Trail
- Ozark Trail
- Ouachita Trail
- Lone Star Trail
- Pinhoti Trail
- Palmetto Trail
- Sheltowee Trace
- Cohos Trail
- Finger Lakes
- The Ice Age Trail
- Northville-Placid
- and The Long Trail
I'm hoping to keep my travels to continental North America only because outside of that you start risking delicate ecosystems and running into major quarantining regulations, but I'm open to Canada, Alaska, and Mexico and as you can see I have very little knowledge of hiking in those areas lol. And yes, in case anyone is worried, I am familiar with hiking around large predators while with a dog and will do my due diligence to educate myself of bear/wolf/lion regulations prior to marching my furry friend into the wilderness.
If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them, or if you have any questions about trails on my list I'd love to answer them! Picture of my dog for tax and thanks so much!
