The Great California Loop follows three long trails - most of the California section of the Pacific Crest Trail on the east side of the loop, most of the California Coastal Trail to the west, and the majority of Bigfoot Trail to the north. The southern connector option shown has been routed to utilize as much trail as possible without crossing private property.

Two long trail terminuses are included in this route - the southern terminus of the PCT, and the NW terminus of the BFT.

Description

Starting at the northernmost point of Sicily, this route primarily follows the island's entire east coast, passing some of the most breathtaking historic cities, mountain crossings, majestic cliffsides, both white and black sandy beaches, and prominent structures originally erected by the ancient Greeks thousands of years ago. And then there's Mt. Etna, Europe's most active volcano, visible for much of the route. You can literally watch as smoke billows from the top all throughout your attempt.
