Trans Canada Trail #1

Andy | Saturday, January 03, 2015 | Best Blogger Tips

Initiated in 1992 as a project to celebrate Canada’s 125th year, the Trans Canada Trail is one of the world's longest networks of multi-use recreational trails. Once fully connected, it will stretch nearly 24,000 kilometres from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic oceans, through every province and territory.

  1. A bit to much to walk for me. But some parts must be wonderful.

  2. I didn't realize this trail was not already complete. Wouldn't it be amazing to walk the entire length?

  3. I wonder how many people will set out to walk the whole length.

  6. What a huge project to undertake. There will be some hardy souls that will walk the whole trail, I'm sure. Not me though. I bet there be bears in them woods!

  7. A wonderful concept. Someone out there will be the first to conquer it. I'm not that someone.

  8. It's taken a long time to complete this trail. In Alberta we're still haggling over it. We've got lots of space but have to fight about where to put an awesome trail.

  9. That's wonderful. I'm not sure of a national trail here but a number of states, including Florida, have reclaimed old railroad beds for trails. There's one in Minnesota which we rode in years past that 70 miles long. (We didn't ride all 70 miles. Are you crazy?) :)

  11. When it's all done, it'll be well worth it.

  13. These long trails are special places, but I would want a bicycle to traverse the Canadian prairie states. There is the Continental Divide Trail in the U.S. going from Mexico to Canada, a distance of 4,455 miles, and there is always the Appalachian trail about 1,280 miles long. Almost 3 million people walk part of the Appalachian trail every year, but only about 1,800 "thru walkers" go the whole way.

  14. These things take eons but are worth the effort. There's one that's being build through this region, bit by bit, and what's built is well used.
