Joan of Arc, nicknamed "the Maid of Orléans," is one of the most emblematic figures in French history. Born around 1412 in Domrémy-la-Pucelle, a small village in Lorraine, she played a crucial role during the Hundred Years' War, a major conflict between France and England that lasted from 1337 to 1453.

The GR®703 is particularly significant as it allows hikers to immerse themselves in the history of Joan of Arc while discovering the beauty of the French landscapes.

This point-to-point, open-course route takes you from the southernmost point of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to its northernmost point, along the park’s longest “axis”. This approximately 90-mile, full length crossing of Anza-Borrego is done south to north as opposed to east to west, as the distance from the southern terminus to the northern terminus is greater than the distance from the eastern terminus to the western terminus, making this the most comprehensive possible crossing of the park. 

This is the trail to the summit of Gros Morne Mountain. At 806m it is this mountain is highest point in Gros Morne National Park, the highest trail-accessible summit in Newfoundland and the second-highest point on the island overall. It is possibly the province's most iconic hiking route.
