Reading this list of trails kind of makes me want to ditch everything and go full vagabond with a backpack. A few of these I've done Cadillac Summit in Acadia at sunrise was downright spiritual but some, like Sky Pond and the Skyline Loop at Rainier, are still firmly on my bucket list. I love that they mixed in a range of effort levels too. Not every “must-do” hike has to destroy your knees.
Honestly though, Hidden Lake in Glacier might be the one that haunts me most. That first view when the trail crests the overlook? Unreal. And don’t even get me started on The Narrows. Wet shoes, sore calves, zero regrets
.
Anyone else have a national park trail they’d hike again in a heartbeat? Or better yet, one you think should have made the list?
