Reports
- Great Western Loop: General Information
Andrew Skurka's enormous accomplishment to hike five major trails (the Pacific Crest Trail, Pacific Northwest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Grand Enchantment Trail, and Arizona Trail)in one go, is something we can only dream of. He walked 6,875 miles in 208 days, including a 675-mile trail-less segment in the Sonoran and Mojave desert. We can however join him on his hike, reading his account, viewing the impressive picture account, and learn from his gear list and diet tips.
