Head out on this off-the-beaten-path trail to Better Future, USA. Generally considered a challenging route, poorly marked in some sections, with lots of muddy patches and rock scrambles, it takes on average several decades to complete. This is not a popular trail so you may feel isolated at times, but you’ll be rewarded with exceptional vistas. Carry bear spray and plenty of water. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. Consider posting a review to encourage other hikers to follow.
