Canada Has a 24,000-kilometre Trail You Can Hike

From coast to coast to coast, Canada is one of the most amazing places in the world and now there’s a trail you can hike to see it all.

Organizers and trail builders have officially connected 100 per cent of the trail to all 13 provinces and territories.

“When we stand on The Great Trail, there is one common element that unites us from coast-to-coast-to-coast,” says the website.

“It’s the view that all those travelling the Trail share – the horizon. This view is full of possibilities, discovery and adventure, linking 15,000 communities along 24,000 km. To follow the horizon along The Great Trail is to discover the beauty of Canada. Its vanishing point leads us across our country, through the wild, the rural and the urban, by waterways, roadways and footpaths.”

You can hike, bike, run, use a horse and even a snowmobile on some parts. Just be sure to follow the signs.

This trail is the longest recreation trail in the world and it takes you through all the most beautiful sites in Canada.

You’ll pass through the Rockies in Alberta, under the Northern Lights in the Northwest Territories, along boardwalk trails by the ocean in Nova Scotia and so much more.

The Trans Canada Trail is a not-for-profit organization, created in 1992. For 25 years, donors have kept alive the dream of building the longest trail in the world. You can donate here.
