Which Trail Should You Hike?

Camping in a tent. What's a hiking trip without sleeping in the wilderness?

I want to sleep inside in comfort after a day outdoors. 

A few days is long enough for me!

Two or three weeks. If I'm going on a hiking trip, I'm using up my vacation days.

For months at a time. I want to quit my job and dedicate my whole summer to this. 

International travel? I don't use my passport.

I like to visit new countries, but I still want all the comforts of home.

I want to go somewhere totally different than what I'm used to.

I'm so social! I want there to be plenty of people around, so I can make new friends along the way. 

I don't mind bumping into other people on the trail, but I hike to get away from the crowds. 

I would prefer to see the least amount of people as possible. I like having nature to myself. 

Anything that I can get from a US grocery store or restaurant. I like making my own backcountry meals. 

The basics: bread, vegetables, fruit, cheese, eggs, and meat. 

Rice and vegetables. Maybe throw in some spices and a little chicken too. 

I don't care what I eat, as long as it fuels me for hiking. 

I hike to be immersed in nature and meet other like minded people. 

I want to be in remote parts of the mountains, far away from cell phone service. 

I like to be self-sufficient and carry everything I need for survival on my back. 

I want to see some cool stuff. 

Circled up around a campfire with a few other hikers, reminiscing about the day until it's time to cozy up in my tent for the night. 

Hanging out in a lodge by a wood-burning stove, maybe playing cards with other hikers while we sip tea and wait for dinner to be served. 

Sleeping in a comfortable hotel or guest house. Maybe I'll stop by a pastry shop for a treat or eat a traditional local dinner. 

Curled up into my tent all alone, reading a good book and cooking dinner on my camp stove. 

10-15 miles. I like to hike all day long.

Less than 10 miles.
