Best day hikes in the US
With summer underway, we're in prime hiking season. Wise Bread has a list of some top hiking destinations in the USA. It's mostly the great national parks we know about, but there's a few interesting ones:
Michigan's Isle Royale National Park is located mostly on the largest island within what is the largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Superior. Its remote location means it can only be reached by boat or by seaplane, so just getting to this park is an adventure in itself. Wheeled vehicles are completely prohibited, with the only permitted means of navigation being on foot or on water in a boat, canoe, or kayak. Visitors are treated to a taste of real wilderness here, with the Greenstone Trail that runs from one end of the island to the other.
Rock Harbor Trail: This scenic trail winds along the quiet shores of Rock Harbor. You can choose your distance on this one as there are numerous trails and loops to take. For a shortened version, take a walk along the bluffs to Daisy Farm (7.2 miles) without going the entire 11-mile distance to the Moskey Basin.
If you want to expand your search, Earth Trekkers has a good list of worldwide hikes. The #1 option from Norway is especially intriguing.
