You have found JB’s Crazy Hike List! (And I’ve heard lotsa people call me crazy — so here’s more proof!) Since you have found this page it hopefully means that you like long, strenuous, hikes! (The ones that might make you say Yikes!) While doing route planning for some of the previous long day hike distances I’ve taken various trail running courses and super sized them. I am finding that there are some events that work as is and could be modified if desired to add to the challenge. I’ve been saving them for the most part as Strava routes. I now have more then a few hikes on the list that I have saved up for future dates and need to keep a to-do for getting them done. I am hoping to do them on a more frequent basis if I can find anyone who would like to join in… Some of the hike listed are also exploratory. So let the fun begin!
