Since these hikes span different continents, you may realistically only be able to plan one of these trips this year. But these are some of our favorites and should give you a great place to start on planning this year’s adventures.

The Overland Track is an Australian bushwalking track that spans Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It’s a 40-mile hike from Cradle Mountain to Lake St. Clair that attracts over 9,000 people each year.
Australia has so many great hiking spots to explore, and the country could use your help protecting their beautiful land from the raging bushfires. Please consider joining us in donating to WWF's Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund.

The West Coast Trail is a 47-mile backpacking trail that follows the southwestern edge of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The trail was built in 1907 in an effort to help rescue shipwrecked survivors along the coast. People typically take five to seven days to backpack along this route that spans rainforests, beaches, steep ladders, heavy mud, and whatever else the West Coast has to throw at you.
