America, the Hoofable

This land was made for boots, and every state contains its beauty-stretch hike, one that speaks to its own unique brand of wildness. Whether your tastes run to the craggy alpine terrain of the Sierra Nevada, the layer-cake geology of the Grand Canyon, or the dripping hemplocks of the northern forest, break out your topos and cinch up your laces--here's a 50-state guide to the walkabout nation.
