13 Best Hikes in North America

7. Pacific Crest Trail
The other definitive hiking (and riding!) trail in the United States is the Pacific Crest Trail, which stretches 2,650 miles from California to Washington. Along the way, you’ll pass through seven separate national parks.
Like the Appalachian Trail on the East Coast, the Pacific Crest Trail has inspired many thru-hikers, who regard it as the culmination of a lifetime’s work to hike the trail in one trip. One famous hiker who accomplished this was Cheryl Strayed, who wrote about hiking part of the trail in her book Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail.
