If you think @DallinW 's stats were impressive this year, just wait for 2017. Challenge! :D


Travelers who dream of exploring Canada by bike or foot will soon have the perfect opportunity to do so. As inhabitat reports, all 14,913 miles of The Great Trail are set for completion in 2017.

Tempting! Those Canadian's just had to go and 1-up us on long trail distance! Just shy of being twice as big as a triple crown (PCT, AT, CDT) hike.

That kind of a journey would definitely encompass more than a single year, for most folks. I'm curious if it could be pulled off continuously without having to put on snowshoes, or having to get off the trail in late Fall til Spring.

I don't know a lot about that trail (or Canada for that matter) to put it on "the list", yet. It would have to be pretty diverse or it might get old really quick.
