Backpacking Trail Information

This resource for trail information will expand over time, so check back often.

There are countless hiking trails in the United States, but three North/South national scenic trails stand out. These three trails are commonly referred to as the "Triple Crown": the Appalachian Trail, (perhaps the most famous hiking trail in the world); the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail, which offers the most rugged long-distance hiking in the contiguous 48 states.
