The Pacific Crest Trail

Along America's iconic Western trail you will encounter vast desert valleys, expansive mountain ranges, and pristine forest wilderness. The Sierra Nevada range, dubbed the "Range of Light" by writer and historic figure John Muir, is regarded by many as America's most scenic mountain landascape and is a highlight of this trail. North of the Sierra's, the trail enters the moisture rich landscape of the Pacific Northwest where hikers will find snow covered volcanoes and old-growth pine groves. This trail represents everything there is to love and cherish about the Western United States.

The Continental Divide Trail

The Continental Divide Trail meanders through the backbone of the Unites States where hikers will find some of the most dramatic and wild landscapes in North America. Higher in elevation and more remote then the PCT and AT, the CDT is challenging both mentally and physically as it traverses several towering massive mountain ranges, long stretches of open land and harsh climates. These landscapes are locally reffered to as Big Sky Country, and it is easy to tell why - this trail feels more elevated than most.

The Appalachian Trail

Wandering through North America's oldest mountains, the Appalachian trail is also the longest hiking-only trail in the world. While this trail might not reach the tallest elevations or enter into the most remote wilderness, make no mistake - many consider this the hardest thru-hike due to the constant elevation gain and loss. From the tranquil forests of The Great Smoky Mountains to the rugged terrain of Maine's Mt.Katahdin, the beauty of this trail resonates a lifetime.
