Long hiking or trekking is when you hike/trek long distances.
Hiking the entire AT or PTC trail in America would be an example of long hiking or thru-hiking if you hike it from start to finish without taking a break (aside from some zero hiking days).
Some people even long hike across the world.
How do you all feel about this sort of thing? Could you do it? How about if you had the time and money?

Re: Long hiking
I haven't done a long hike in a long while, I would love to do one again when the weather finally cools down.

Re: Long hiking
I don't think I could do it but it sounds fun! If I ever could, I would definitely go during the fall. I haven't been hiking in a while, and it wasn't too big of a trail. This was early last year if I remember correctly.

Ooooh, fall would be amazing. All the changing leaf colors would be awesome to see.Ravenfreak wrote: Wed Oct 01, 2025 10:23 pm I don't think I could do it but it sounds fun!
