New Up coming Trail in Texas

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Sounds like a great concept, certainly for the trail bike riders and possibly the equestrians too. As a hiker I'm less keen on the long road stretches, although as he mentions people are coming forward with offers of land access. Stretches like this are one of the drawbacks of some of the North Island sections of the Te Araroa in NZ.
Hikers, bikers and horseback riders sounds like a terrifying mix though!!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Which is exactly the appeal!
Don't get me wrong I love the camino and I'm very grateful of found it; but the self reliance required on these trails is superb. Walking for a hundred miles or so with no support, no infrastructure, preferably no buildings power lines etc in sight - that's my idea of a great week!
 
The thing is that there are plenty of trails like that in the US already. Very, very few with lodging available.
 
Excellent point.
I guess that’d be one way to lower the numbers on Camino- create a 800km/500mile Camino style option in the US.
Are there any areas that would potentially have enough infrastructure (small towns/ villages etc) that you could potentially connect though? From the little I’ve seen, it’s either too spread out, or too built up.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
There is the California Mission Walk, but I think that it suffers from being too spread out in parts and too built up in others.

Wow, you were not kidding. I already knew about a number of them but I've just found an article that mentions the ADT (American Discovery trail) Apparently 6,800 miles long (this article says "appx 5,000', another article on The Trek and information elsewhere say 6,800....

The later figure makes it even longer than the ECT (Eastern Continental trail, 5700).

The article is predominantly about an 82 year old woman who has just finished section hiking it. Unfortunately it's not a particularly good article, but I'll link it anyway in case anybody's interested :
