Some trails gain a buzzy reputation among avid hikers as crowning, daredevil achievements. These hikes usually involve peaks, valleys, or canyons where all that danger-driven adrenaline rewards you with the opportunity to stand at the pinnacle of a spectacularly vertiginous vista point and cry out, "Look at me! I'm on top of the world!" Yosemite's Half-Dome is just such a location. Hawaii's iconic yet dangerous Kalalau Trail is another. One of the buzziest and busiest of them all is the hike up Angels Landing in Southern Utah's Zion National Park.

Zion, located in Utah (a state with a whopping five national parks that can all be seen in one road trip), is one of the most-visited national parks in the United States. And, according to AllTrails, Angels Landing is the best-rated hike within the park. However, the problem with Angels Landing is that despite its incredible views, the hike is actually quite dangerous and crowded — making it one of those trails only recommended for experienced hikers. Because of this, the National Park Service has implemented a permit system for the trail. While getting a permit for Angels Landing is not as hard as some other popular hikes, it's still a hassle.

Maine State

Maine's sprawling Acadia National Park is known for its rugged coastline, mountain peaks, and wild country, but one of its most popular attractions isn't up a mountainside or on the ocean — it's a lake. Acadia National Park has a large amount of postcard-worthy scenery, but pristine Jordan Pond is particularly beautiful. There are a few trails that you can take to get a look at this incredible place, but if you want a relatively easy walk around the water's edge, Jordan Pond Path might just be the perfect hike for you.

Wyoming State

Cody, WY

A history-loving writer gets more than she bargained for on a backcountry horse-packing trip. I fell in love with a ghost two decades ago. I saw her headstone on display at a ramshackle museum in Cody, Wyoming, on my first real trip out west. She’d died in 1897, at age 30—the same age I was at the time—and ran a bar in the waning days of the Wild West. Had she been drawn there by the lure of Western dime store novels and tales of outlaws, just like I’d been drawn to NYC by tales of CGBGs and punk bands? I felt an immediate kinship, and I think she did too because she’s never left my mind since. She’s so insistent that she’s become the central character of my working novel.
