America’s Toughest Hikes

Here’s a quick little list found in
the Chicago
Tribune
(originally found in Backpacker mag online)
on some of America’s hardest day hike’s.  I figured there was no point in
not sharing the list with the folks here, so if you’re looking to hit some trails and work up a massive sweat see
if any of these are in your neck of the woods.
