Dreaming about any epic trips?
Three different long-distance hiking trips have really caught my eye recently:
(The second link are Google Images for each - which really ignites my wanderlust.)
----------
The Oregon Desert Trail:

I've done day-hikes on Oregon's PCT but the eastern 'desert' is much more to my tastes.
----------
The South West Coast Path:

(Spectacular pics for sure )
The most difficult thing about the above is that it would be hard to choose which segment to do. I've spent quite some vacation time in Devon (& Dartmoor) in my early days so this trip would be a little closer to the heart.
From what I've read, the well-developed trail covers the same paths that the Coastguard historically used to monitor the many coves and inlets - so the scenery would be fantastic.
----------
Hadrian's Wall Path:

I've visited Hadrian's Wall via car; I think hiking the length of it would be awesome and with only ~one week required for transit, a very viable package trip.
----------
As we have a great hiking dog, the one in the US could be easier to pull off compared to the two in the UK; however Mr.&Mrs. K have enough frequent flyer miles for a pair of free round-trip flights to Europe so I'm trying to decide which of two hiking holidays in England we should be looking at.
