Backpacker's 'The Best Trails in America'

I recently finished reading Backpacker Magazine’s “The Best Trails in America” and think that you’ll be interested to know which trails they included in this handy guide.
The 20-page guide, which was published as a service to the magazine’s subscribers, details 13 hikes – eight in the category of “Weekend Getaways” and five in the category of “Escapes for a Week or Longer.”
Recommended “Weekend Getaways” included Denali National Park in Alaska, Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, Sequoia National Park in California, Myakka River State Park in Florida, Isle Royale National Park in Michigan, Mt. Nebo in Utah, Olympic National Park in Washington and Encampment River Trail in Wyoming.
The five recommended “Escapes for a Week or Longer” were Death Valley’s Furnace Creek in California, Black Creek National Recreation Trail in Mississippi, Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness in Montana, Roanoke River Paddling Trail in North Carolina and Pacific Crest Trail in Washington.
For most of these locales, the guide includes information about permits, access, the best season to visit, route information, drive times from major cities or airports, tail and elevation information, and contact information.
The guide also features a number of sidebars that cover topics like stargazing, wilderness wayfinding, nocturnal animals, the Aurora Borealis, bears and other potentially dangerous animals.
