A Texas man has set his sights on making the next great adventure trail like the Appalachian Trail or the Pacific Crest that spans 1,500 miles across The Lone Star State.
For hikers and bikers who’ve conquered the Triple Crown — the Pacific Crest, Appalachian and Continental Divide trails — there’s a new adventure route in town. It spans the entire Lone Star State, and it’s going to be traversable by spring. 'This is a route that is rugged, remote, rural and therefore, romantic,' Charlie Gandy, a retired community design consultant and former state representative, told Fox News Digital.
Texan or not, that apparently bodes well for more than just the hard-core hikers and bikers looking to take on an extreme challenge, according to Gandy. 'We'll have long distance people wanting to ride bikes the entire distance, and these are true athletes that are biting at the bit to get this route done so that they can test themselves against it,' Gandy said. 'We’ll have people who will do a section hike or a section ride for 100 to 300 miles over a week or a weekend.
