Grab your hiking boots because Canada's "Great Trail" is finally connected.
It's been 25 years since three Canadians came up with the seemingly crazy idea to connect all of Canada's hiking trails, footpaths, rail trails, and boardwalks to become one giant super-trail, according to Atlas Obscura. But thanks to the Trans Canada Trail, a non-profit that organized thousands of volunteers who helped clear brush, fix planks, and put up signs, the long route is now passable.
