Adding to this, if people want a lonely long hiking trail the Continental Divide is a good choice. My longest period without seeing another person at all was 6days, and I know several who have gone went weeks without seeing anyone(apart from hitchhiking into town for more food).<p>Its also just a really awesome trail (Montana&#x2F;Wyoming&#x2F;Colorado&#x2F;New Mexico) with on a good year maybe 300 hikers starting(far fewer finishing or making significant progress)<p>Though it does take map and compass navigation as the trail is not complete and even when it is, there often isn&#x27;t a trail just a line on a map.
