The Black Canyon National Recreation Trail, or BCT, is a ~75 mile trail running North to South from the Prescott National Forest Boundary to the Carefree Highway. The trail is a multi-use pathway for hikers, cyclists, and equestrians. The trail follows ancient Indian pathways, Sheep herding migration paths, and stage coach routes. The trail was designated as a National Recreation Trail in 2008. There are two loops along the trail, so travelling end to end is about 75 miles.
This is a 30 mile loop in Big Bend National Park.

Distance: 30 miles (side-trips to the South Rim or Emory peak add up to five additional miles).
Time: Allow at least three days
Table Mountain (11,106') is on the west side of Grand Teton National Park. Speed ascents have been done via the North Fork route, which is about 6.5 miles one-way, and via the West Face route, which is more like 4 miles each way. Either route, the summit affords spectacular views of the Tetons.
This Route is for mostly on-trail traverses between Green River Lakes and Big Sandy. Largely off-trail trips are described under the Wind River High Route.
There does not seem to be an established standard for the route. Generally the end points have been Green River Lakes and Big Sandy, and people use a combination of the Highline & Fremont Trails. Here we archive some discussion from our old website:

The Kokopelli Trail is a wonderful route that goes from Loma, in western Colorado, to Moab, Utah, through spectacular and varied desert landscape. The best estimate of its length (from knowledgeable mountain bikers) is 141 miles. The route is mostly jeep and OHV tracks, with some single track and some paved roads.
"You would think more people would do the Kokopelli, a really nice runnable well defined and well known track." - Paul Pomerory
The White Rim Road is a beautiful, 100-mile jeep road (with 7 miles of pavement) in the Islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park, near Moab, Utah. The "White Rim in a Day" (WRAID) has been a classic for mtn bikers since it was first done (probably) by Buzz Burrell in the mid-1980s.
Angels Landing is a short route to a spectacular view point in the heart of Zion National Park in southwestern Utah. It is about 5 miles round trip, with 1500 feet of elevation gain.
