Ozark Highlands Trail (OHT) Full Thru-Hike Guide

Important Note on Route Evolution & FKT Status

To FKT Editors and Future Thru-Hikers: The current route data listed across many historical tracking platforms (including fastestknowntime.com) frequently reflects the old, original baseline of 164 miles (terminating at Woolum). Later iterations stopped at Dillard's Ferry (208 miles) or the White River road walk (251 miles).

The Nev Cole Way is a long distance walk in the north of Lincolnshire which is a tribute to one of the regions most popular ramblers.

It was devised by the Wanderlust Rambling Club which was formed in 1932 by Nev Cole. As the Wanderlust membership attests 'It celebrates his life, the creation of the Club and Nev's friends in the Ramblers Association groups but not least, the Wanderlust Rambling Club of Grimsby'.

Trail running has had a storied and competitive history in the Grand Canyon. But while the popular R2R2R trails receive a lot of attention, less attention is paid towards running the mountains inside the Canyon itself. Brahma Temple is one of these. The route begins with descending the South Kaibab trail, crossing the bridge over the Colorado River, and running past Phantom Ranch. Just past the ranch is a turnoff sign, where runners should turn right and begin the climb up.

Reflection Canyon has become an iconic landmark in the Utah desert in recent years. It is a popular spot for backpacking, hiking, and photography. And, it can be ran as a day trip or in a few hours as well. What makes Reflection Canyon iconic is the view you are treated to at the end, with S-shaped sandstone curves towering above Lake Powell. The entirety of the run is beautiful, with Arizona's sacred Navajo Mountain dominating the skyline on the run down.

For anybody visiting the town of Mount Shasta, California, the town's namesake peak is the obvious one dominating the skyline. However, when driving up the road to the Shasta trailhead, one cannot help but notice a perfectly conical peak on the skyline. This peak is called Black Butte (6,334 feet). Black Butte often serves as a training peak for Shasta climbers and provides a great alternative for when the Shasta weather is not conducive to climb, as it sits at a much lower elevation.
