3 Crazy Trails I'll NEVER Thru-hike

[@daranicolenicole]

The loveliest trail I have ever hiked was the East Coast trail in Newfoundland, Canada. It's only 336km. You are walking along high cliffs next to the ocean. You see whales and seals next to you all the time. There are all kinds of berries on the trail. You see lighthouses, waterfalls, icebergs, a geyser, cute little villages. The terrain is always different and interesting, and the people are very friendly. I can't say enough about it.

[@Sarah-nh1lx]

I did it too, it was amazing!

[@natalieridge7647]

Love the East Coast Trail!!

[@bauabh]

And it's irrelevant to hiking, but I'm pretty intrigued by Newfoundland. It's a beautiful place and will probably go to university there

[@sylvaincote2762]

I second the above comment and highly reccommend the east coast trail. you will have scenic postcard pictures every few miles! Good Hike!

[@danbusath]

One of the highlights of my life was a self-supported bike tour from Oakland California to Portland Maine. 3 months, wonderful view of the country, wonderful people all along the route. I highly recommend it.

[@VeronicaShukla]

Did you ever have a fear of getting hit by cars on this trip? If so, did you get over it or just push through it? Any close calls? I’m terrified to ride bike anywhere but a designated trail where cars can’t go.

You have been a huge inspiration to me. I suffer from diabetes very badly but because of you, I am hiking almost every weekend, getting my blood sugars in a good enough condition that my doctor has finally approved me for a 216mile section hike. God bless you for inspiring people like me.

[@charlespolk5221]

Awesome, dude. I feel the same way only I have always wanted to hike the Continental divide trail end to end. Four months ago I got some trail runners and began walking every day. I'm up to 4.25 miles a day with a 15 lb day pack. So far I've lost about 8 lbs. I'm starting weight lifting as well. But with really light weights. Baby steps, right? How are you going to deal with keeping you insulin cold on your trip?

[@AOKUrbanHomestead1]

@@charlespolk5221 that is wonderful! So happy for you and thanks for the extra inspiration. My insulin is in pen form and the doctor said I don't have to refrigerate it since it will be cooler is April.

[@rfdinesen4027]

@@AOKUrbanHomestead1 Look up Frio packs. They are great for carrying insulin when traveling, hiking whatever. I believe they were developed by a nurse who had diabetes who traveled a lot. You immerse them in some water for 15 minutes and they expand slightly, absorbing water, then they cool the insulin as they sweat. They'll cool it for a day or two. They are also reusable for quite a few times, just re immerse in water. I have used them for years and they are a game changer.

[@robing6977]

That is fantastic!!! How did it go?

[@sharonfaithhunter9389]

Also for the North Country Trail, the only day you can walk the 5 mile Mackinac Bridge is on Labor Day. I walked it this year and met a thru hiker that was actually doing the whole trail this year, so awesome.

[@mhoefler914]

Including a NOLS course I've spent 16 separate weeks in Wind River Range WY (my favorite place except perhaps for Paria Canyon AZ). You likely went through there on your CDT hike but may I suggest you take a month or two, take your time and fully explore that 95 mile range. Do lots of side trips off the CDT main trial and really discover a true wonder. That would be different than the need to get in certain mileage or have-to-be at a certain place within a deadline. Just walk around, loop around, rediscover previous lakes etc. Treat yourself with an 8 or 10 day food supply and follow your heart. Sit by a lake for a whole day and absorb it fully. Also I did 6 months of bicycle touring of 4800 miles (mostly solo) but got tired of the traffic, so switched to backpacking. Perhaps find the least traveled roads. Still fun but disconnecting from civilization through backpacking is still more peaceful IMO.

[@bilahn1198]

HI Dixie, Since you loved Pictured Rocks Trail, I know you would love the Superior Hiking Trail section of the North country Trail in Minnesota. Everyone who does it loves it. We day hike up there all the time. People who do the whole thing usually take about 2 weeks. Easy for you and it would be very enjoyable and leisurely. August and September are the best months in northern Minnesota with the best weather with the fewest bugs. Lots of waterfalls! Just an FYI. There are 2 bridge wash outs which whixh necessitate unfortunate detours. You might wanna wait until they are repaired and I don't know when that will be. --Paul from Minneapolis.

[@brucefluth3930]

I totally agree!! Awesome views of Lake Superior, rivers and inland lakes. The intent of the trail was to make a mini AT trail! 😎

[@serafinahikes3467]

I'm definitely hiking that one when I have a chance, looks really beautiful, all along Lake Superior!

If looking for a European adventure, try the Via Alpina! The whole route takes 5 months, depending on which route you take. (I did the Swiss section in 2021 which can be done in 20-40 days depending on your pace. Wild camping is technically prohibited in Switzerland and there are lots of modestly priced hostels and mountain hotels along the route so no need for a tent.)

[@russellmoore1533]

I rode the Bikecentennial Trail from west to east in 1976, (it is now an Adventure Cyclist trail). In 1983 I rode from LA to NY via a northern route and in 1995 I rode from Anchorage to Las Vegas. Here in Australia I rode from Victoria to Cape York on a MTB in 1988, so very much I was a cyclist, I have done one small through hike here in NSW from Sydney to Newcastle (The Great North Walk) in 2018. I have always preferred riding to walking, you can't freewheel down hill when you are walking :)

[@kurio999]

As a Canadian, I am disappointed by the Trans-Canada trail. They basically cheated in order to claim that it goes from coast to coast. As you note, large sections involve road walking and some sections require a canoe. Worse still, no provision is made for thru hiking - except for the more northerly sections that pass through crown land, there are no legal camping sites. This trail is only suitable for day hikes.

[@EYELEVELAwakening]

thank you so much for the mention of that last trail....i have wondered about long biking adventures....and now i know....at least i have a starting point of investigation....much love.....your content is always worth my time

[@stevenvarner9806]

I watched Constantine and Magpie's trail vlogs (the long 45 minutes ones!). They were amusing as usual for these two. Constantine completed his 11 national scenic trails with this one. I think you would enjoy doing the whole Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota sections. Those seem to be the most beautiful interesting sections with less road walking.

[@AlikVolkov]

I wanted to do the Bruce Trail in Ontario, this 885 km trail going from the Bruce Peninsula to Niagara Falls, but for most of the way, you're not allowed to camp there. Instead, you need to pay for accomodation they have near the trail, which sucks.

[@nonservitium]

A friend of mine did the discovery trail back in the early 90s. She did it in just bout a year. She's a badass

[@Colleenann61]

I was excited to hear you mention cycling! My friend and I finished the Trans America bike route in September. We had both hiked the AT together in 2020. I am much more of a cyclist than a hiker. He was more of a hiker than a cyclist (side note...he actually met you in New Hampshire at Lake of the Clouds when you were doing your AT thru hike). I’ve done lots and lots of bike tours, both road and off-road. If you decide to take up Cycle Touring, I’d be happy to be a resource for you.

[@hecksmurf4513]

ive always liked hiking, but i started getting more serious about it 3 of 4 months ago, i've gone on day hikes every weekend since, getting gradually more difficult. i did my first weekend backpacking trip over last weekend in the appalacian mountains and it was the best experience of my life, my buddies and i camped at the peak of Mt. robertson and it was surreal. we've been constantly planning new adventures and plan on working our way up to thru hiking trips. i've been watching your videos the last few days and it's been getting me super hyped. i now have an insatiable hunger, i yearn for the mountains and the trails. your videos have taught me a lot and i look forward to moving up and pushing my limits further every chance i get, thank you for these educational and motivating videos.

I would honestly probably never do the Florida trail because I have an irrational fear of alligators. I once went to Disney and we took a boat ride there and I was prettified that an alligator was going to jump up on the boat and eat us. The worst part about this fear is that I've never in my life have seen an alligator.

[@sleahy4082]

What lovely consideration you gave to the Trans-Canada Trail! It is truly the rare person who even gives consideration to through-hiking this trail rather than selected sections. Very nice picture of the quaint little town called "Trail" during your comment about bridges. Also, as someone who has lived in various Canadian climates, I'm as wary of the southern heat and creatures as you are of the northern cold.

[@ke9tv]

The longest trail I've thru-hiked is the 137-mile Northville-Placid Trail. I just can't walk away from my life for months at a time - I have a family, a community, a church, with responsibilities to all of them, and God willing, I'll lave them until it comes time to walk the lonesome valley home.

[@tomphillips3162]

The American Discovery Trail is actually the right trail for many people. It's a mostly flat trail, lots of history, has lots of access to water and towns, and can hike or bike it, great camp sites and of coarse scenic on the positive. The negative for some is no big game, some horses, more pavement walking than some would like and finally bring a friend if possible or plan on being alone most of the time.

[@GnpHiker]

I met someone once who hiked the American Discovery Trail. She said because it goes through lots of urban areas she had to ask people if she could camp in their yards. If you like meeting and talking to random people that might be ok, but it sounds miserable to me.

[@BobPalin]

I'm the Utah coordinator for the American Discovery Trail - I definitely dispute that it's mostly flat in CO, UT, NV and CA! 8-)

Right about that. The trail is about 6'800 miles, a lot of flat on the east and middle. Thank you for your dedication. @BobPalin

Bicycle touring is fun and I hope you try it. I am also very curious to hear your opinion on how difficult it is compared to hiking. Fun fact: once a gradient exceeds 2% it takes more effort to ride a bike up it than to walk.

[@cup_and_cone]

I agree - only downside is you don't always get the most rural of places unless you're actively seeking them out. If you're planning a long trip, you're probably sticking mostly to roadways and pathways.

Congratulations on your thru-hike!!! I finished my Triple Crown a few years ago, and have been itching to get back out there, and the ADT is definitely one that I've been contemplating...I'm just not sure. The one thing that I love about the AT, PCT, and CDT is how remote you are...I've read that that's not necessarily the case with the ADT.

[@BobPalin]

@@Killingtonm The ADT definitely has some of everything, from cities to very remote wilderness. In a way that's kind of the point of it. The ADT indirectly grew out of the National Trails System act of 1968 which "calls for establishing trails in both urban and rural settings for people of all ages, interests, skills, and physical abilities"

[@DiabloOutdoors]

TRANS-CANADA Bad, bad, bad... The organization behind it (head office) is bad. The planning was horrendous and some even told them the planning was getting the trail through.. swamps. But they didn't listen and the trail had to be modified on the fly. Also, some sections are dangerous. Like in the Laurentians (QC), a section will have you to climb over rocks while holding trees and the chart says it's an easy section... I also remember once when I went to their head office asking if it was possible to do an interview with them for a personal project of mine. And my God... they never invited me to sit or offered to set an appointment. Instead, they kept me in the vestibule and treated me like if I was a hostile spy of some sort. Absolutely unbelievable! They were arrogant and it was a real bad experience. This lead me to think "what are they trying to hide?" And, maybe they were afraid of even more bad reviews. It's sad because this trail could be amazing. It's still cool, but it could be way better that's for sure and all major USA trails are better managed than the Canadian one.

I love the sandstone formations of the Cumberlands so when the Cumberland trail is done, I'll be doin that! Several sections are done but a few have yet to be acquired. I would also do the CDT. I used to feel like I would want to do the PCT too but now I just feel like it's a superhighway of hikers and wonder if I'd have much solitude.

That was so interesting! I live in Alaska and our trees have been bare for a month and we have snow on the ground. To me, hiking close to Canada through the North Country Scenic Trail would be like going to Arizona. I've hiked through several of those states in the Winter, snow is so beautiful. Just like dirt, every different location has different types of snow. Our snow in Alaska is very powdery. The snow in MN, PA,ND,VT,ME,NY are heavy and wet. Some of the Northwestern States like Montana have powdery snow that just sparkles like diamonds and smells yummy.

Completely understandable that you don't want to through hike the NCT given the colder temperatures across the northern states. Depending on your pace and when you start you will either start or end the hike with northern winter conditions. It is also possible to start and end with northern winter conditions. They did remove walking across the Mackinac Bridge from the qualification for full completion of the trail since you can only cross it by foot during the annual Labor Day walk. I have hiked small portions of the trail in the Manistee National Forest and a small portion near Baraga, MI in the UP.
