All Trails gets lost in translation.

A recent post about the best hiking trails in the world got our attention. And then it made us laugh.


Turns out, it's from an All Trails article on hikes worth a long trip, and includes hikes in New Zealand, Australia, Britain and Poland, among others.


2026 Travel Worthy Trails | AllTrails https://share.google/oUBJE7myIEICcyxDQ


All good, All Trails.


But somehow All Trails listed only four hikes in the USA as deserving to be on the list, all in North Carolina and Tennessee. Yosemite? Yellowstone? Tetons? Zion? Rainier? Tetons? All Trails has them All Missing


Marissa Bradstreet summarized the article here:


4 hiking trails considered best in America https://share.google/p905exrwCnnpd5V15


What is mind boggling is that it didn't occur to All Trails that such a list might seem a little off the mark if it failed to include a single hike west of the Mississippi.


Even if All Trails assumes...and you know what that means...that their customers are all in the West, our trails out here are far enough apart that it's a trek between one park and the other, and the hikes are worth the travel it takes to get to them.


If All Trails isn't lost, at least, in the words of Daniel Boone, it got sorely confused, All things considered.
