The middle of a Maine winter, America's most Eastern State, is a good time to start planning your next big hiking adventure. A solid week on the trail somewhere, maybe two. It takes some doing to put a trip together, so it's best to get the process going now.
The big question always is where to go. There are lots of great trails in the U.S., from our Appalachian Mountains to the Rockies to the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges, and lots in between. All good, but have you considered looking across the Atlantic Ocean for your next major hiking vacation?
Western Europe, an area of the world I'm pretty familiar with, has thousands of miles of excellent walking trails, from the British Isles to the Alps to the Pyrenees and much more. If you haven't yet experienced trekking on the far side of the big pond, well, you're in for a real treat.
