Long Trails Wiki is for all kinds of information related to the long trails. That includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Information about the trails themselves;
- Terrain and environment;
- Permits;
- Navigation, maps, and apps;
- Agencies related to the trails;
- Trail Angels;
- Resupply locations;
- Gear, ultralight, cottage gear companies;
- And much more!
We recognize that what does and does not qualify as a "long trail" is open to interpretation. Long Trails Wiki currently considers the following characteristics as a flexible guide:
The trail...
- ...is at least 50 miles (80 kilometers) long.
- ...involves minimal road walks.
- ...is mostly completed.
- ...is mostly in wild areas with natural earth for trail surface.
- ...is primarily a hiking trail and is designed for foot traffic.
