Jake Bramante of Kalispell, Montana hiked all 734 miles of Glacier National Park trails in one season. In fact, he actually hiked closer to 1000 miles of trails since many of them are designed as out-and-back trails. Don’t believe him? Check out Hike734. He meticulously detailed every of his hikes in real time, carrying 15 bounds of technology equipment on every hike. He averaged about 15 miles per day, and his longest single day was 25.5 miles. The Glacier National Park Fund (which funded some of the trip) is already booking him for speaking engagements. I sure hope all that time alone in the woods made him a great public speaker.
