1. **The Appalachian Trail, USA**
Spanning approximately 2,200 miles across the Eastern United States, from Georgia to Maine, the Appalachian Trail is a hiker’s dream. You can take short day hikes, or if you’re really adventurous, try tackling the whole trail over several months!

2. **The Inca Trail, Peru**
Imagine hiking through the Andes mountains and ending up at the ancient city of Machu Picchu! This 26-mile trail is usually a four-day trek and mixes both the beauty of the mountains and the wonder of ancient ruins.

3. **The Milford Track, New Zealand**
Known as ‘The Finest Walk in the World,’ this trail takes you through the heart of Fiordland National Park. With 33 miles of lush forests, vast valleys, and dynamic waterfalls, it’s a hiker’s paradise that usually takes around four days to complete.

Before you pack your bags, remember to grab these hiking essentials: a reliable backpack, a sturdy pair of boots, a hat for sun protection, and of course, plenty of water and snacks. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned hiker, it’s always important to prepare for the journey ahead. Happy hiking, and don’t forget your camera – these trails are full of ‘wow’ moments that you’ll definitely want to capture!
