Travelers will be hard pressed to find the seclusion Yosemite National Park provides.

Yosemite Grand Traverse, California, United States
Located in central California, Yosemite National Park is home to some of the most spectacular views and geographical landmarks in the country. Active travelers come from across the globe to trek across the gorgeous surroundings and astonishing sights. The 60-mile Yosemite Grand Traverse is the premier trail in the massive park, a hike that takes around six to seven days to complete, depending on how in shape and ambitious the hikers are. The traverse’s high elevation, stretching upwards to over 12,000 feet, causes it to be closed most of the year, due to the snow covered mountain tops, but from mid-July to mid-September this trail is open to anyone.

 

 

 

The Rampart Mountains are the most recognizable landmark Tonquin Valley possess

Tonquin Valley, Canadian Rockies, Alberta, Canada
The jagged Canadian Rockies are home to the most remote and untouched land in the world. The fresh air running throughout this pristine land opens up the lungs while hikers are traveling across its many trails. Tonquin Valley in Alberta is perhaps the most flocked to trial in the region, as there are countless lakes bordered by sky-scraping, snow-covered mountains. This 27-mile trail can be completed anywhere between three to five days depending on the hikers, but the slower its traveled the more opportunity you’ll have to appreciate the land’s beauty. There is a presence of grizzly bears in the reason, so inexperienced hikers should hire a guide to accompany them through the route.
