Choosing And Planning The Best Backpacking Trips

By Angel Dudley


For those that are looking for that last of the year outing before the weather gets cold and backpacking seems to be on the agenda, take a look at the following best backpacking trips for a not only end of the season event, but an unforgettable experience. Backpacking is a great way to see nature, the great outdoors, observe a tranquil waterfall. The soar of an eagle, or simply get away from the hustle and bustle of city life can also be experienced.

One of the best places for backpacking is the Appalachian Trails. Its a favorite and offers one of the longest trails in the United States, as it spans 14 states. It starts in Georgia and end in Maine. Some suggested trails are in New Hampshire, where the highest peak is, and in the Maine, where the wilderness never crosses a road.

For those that have never experienced the west and all its visual beauty Colorado's Continental Divide is a must for any last of the year backpacker. It is a sight to behold with trails at eight thousand feet in elevation. Those that dare will meet Colorado's Gray's Peak and observe glacier National Park. But take care the mountains can be cold.

The great outdoors has never been as rustic and testing as the Uinta High-line Trail of Utah. This is for those that enjoy rustic, rocky, and testing skills. Those that enjoy rough and tumble will get a sheer taste of will and survival skills as lightning bolts are a common occurrence above the tree line of this mountain.

Trails on this mountain are scenic as they stretch past many scenic waters. Views are well worth the trip. King's Peak will take travelers to the highest peak in Utah, which can be a wonderful experience.

For those who want not only to just enjoy nature, but to travel to one of the most popular spots for backpackers Montana is a great place to visit. Its well known lush wonders, and outdoor senses, and fishing to satisfy even the most avid fisherman, it truly can be a paradise like escape from the stresses of day to day life. It also offers the Yellowstone River, and this state and its many trails is well worth the time and effort.

Shenandoah Valley in northern Virginia is another favorite backpackers spot. With the blue ridge mountains at your feet, and a valley so visually stunning it takes the breath away, this is truly a trip for those that not only want an experience in nature, but offers many opportunities for those that love to photograph their trips. The valley is also known for its famous ecosystems, and is home to many plant and bird species.

Last but not least is the Grand Cannon. The natural beauty of this place is next to none. It is one of the wonders of the world and once travelers have experienced the scenic display here, there is no more wondering why. It is one of the best backpacking trips available, but it also calls for planning ahead. Travelers will need a permit to wonder on the trails, and that means a four month wait for approval. It is well worth the wait, however, and travelers will find the experience of a lifetime, and one they will never forget, so plan ahead and discover the Grand Cannon.
