If you’re looking for some true outdoor adventure, these long, scenic trails cover anywhere from 100 to nearly 7,000 miles.

The folks at Backpacker have put together a useful map of the best trails in the contiguous United States. Some of the highlights include the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail. But there are plenty of other lesser-known trails that are worth your time, like the panoramic Tahoe Rim Trail, far-reaching North Country Trail, and the evergreen Pacific Northwest Trail.
