Caminos in the USA: Are you ready for the big one?

We are on the second day walking the Camino de la Unidad. This is an officially sanctioned Camino route. See attached Credential. See attached. And the sellos along the way are special.

But wait there's more...much more. In the Credential is a route map of the Camino en USA. Wow! Anyone up to walking this mega Camino?

Of course, there route is not yet sanctioned, not are other pilgrimage walks, such as the Camino de Wisconsin, Chimayo in New Mexico and Cataldo in Idaho. But the Missions Trail near San Antonio is sanctioned.

Any I missed?

Wow that looks amazing !!

Not sure what you mean by "sanctioned", but it has the Santiago Cathedral icon on it, so it's a properly recognised Credencial anyway. And the information on the website seems to suggest that this is one of several American (not just US) Camino routes recognised by four of the major churches in the Americas.

This makes walking to Santiago from home a far more realistic prospect for many people in the Southern USA, and that is super cool. There's a cargo ship possibility to various ports in Europe out of Houston BTW so you could make your whole Camino on the surface.
