When I chose to backpack and summit Longs Peak in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, I could not have picked a better place for a Summer hike. Nor could I have imagined how rewarding this hike would turn out. The Longs Peak Trail is not only one of the most scenic and breathtaking trails I have ever done, but the reward isn’t until you get to 14,300 feet ontop of Longs Peak.

Most backpackers don’t think of Arkansas to be a prime spot for a long thru-hike. Guess again. The Ozark Highlands Trail is a 165 mile long trail, meticulously routed through scenic areas of the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and maintained by a large group of volunteers. The trail is well-blazed and has mile markers. It crosses a great deal of streams and is hikeable year-round– with excellent thru-hiking opportunities.
The trail passes through some of the most remote and scenic portions of the Ozark
Isle Royale in Michigan. Six hour Ferry trip to the Island. Great Wildlife.
