These North American hiking trails (including ones in Central America and the Caribbean, of course) let you set off into such wonders. From a multi-day trek alongside a French-Canadian fjord to an iconic Hawaiian coastal path, these are among the most spectacular routes for wandering into the wilderness—with an emphasis on solitude, since many of these hikes are not crowded. Although some of these strenuous hikes take a full day to a week or more, they can be split into shorter, more manageable treks.

You can bag a “fourteener”—a mountain rising over 14,000 feet—by hiking the Keyhole Route to the top of the highest peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, just 75 miles northwest of Denver. Around 15,000 would-be summiteers attempt this feat each year, but only half of them make it because of altitude sickness, fatigue, or foul weather. Savvy hikers start as early as 2 a.m. in order to complete the route through the alpine tundra, over granite boulders, and past glaciers and lakes.
Distance: 15 miles out and back, 10 to 15 hours.
