The Most Hiked Trails in the World

October 12, 2021 by Adam Page

We all love to hike. But not everyone gets the chance to do it as often as they’d like. Fortunately for us, there are many expert hikers around the world who have walked every trail on their list of favorites—time and time again.

By no means is this a definitive list, but this is surely a good starter list!

Alaska

Almost all of the State’s hiking is trailblazing, as only about 20% of the State’s area is non-glaciated or “non serrated”; most notably the North Slope and Aleutian Islands

Arizona

There are two national trails in Arizona: The Appalachian and the Pacific Crest Trail.

The Appalachian Trail begins on Springer Mountain, Georgia, and continues for 2184 miles (3638 km) to Mount Katahdin, Maine. It is roughly equivalent to walking from Mexico to Canada.

The Pacific Crest Trail runs for 2650 miles (4222 kilometers) from the Mexican border in the south to British Columbia in Canada in the north.

Arkansas

California

It is roughly equivalent to walking from Mexico to Canada. The combined trails, plus an additional 60 miles (100 km), would be the longest hike in the contiguous 48 states.

In conclusion, hiking is a wonderful and fulfilling activity that can result in a variety of different outcomes.
