What is the longest you've hiked in one day?

[Plodderman]

A couple of years while hiking with some friends we traveled twenty three miles (near Grayson Highlands). The day before I ran into a thru hiker who did 31. What is the most you've hiked in one day?

[jersey joe]

44 miles into Katahdin Stream Campground in 24 hours to end my 02' thru hike. Then I went up and down Katahdin.

[Blissful]

Day hike - just last week up in Shenandoah - 34.8 miles in 13 3/4 hrs
With a full pack - 24 miles

[Chaco Taco]

33.6 miles Overmountain shelter- Dennis Cove Raod in 11.5 hours, with a hangover:D

[Longshot]

My longest and perhaps most grueling hike was when I was on a cross country bike trip with Toe (we were both in college about 23 years old), I ran into the Grand Canyon flew the bike accroos and walked from the South Rim to the North Rim, not sure of the milage but I sure remember the hike.

Here we go. The pissing contest is on.

25.?? miles through the Dismal Falls area while in a huff over a phone call home.

[Wobegon]

33 into Katahdin Stream Campground to finish my thru-hike the next day since the weather was looking not so great for the days afterwards. Totally worth it and easy terrain to do so. Only other 30+ the whole trip was a 32 out of Kincora.

[lush242000]

Probably around 15 miles and that was enough for me.

[Ender]

32 miles for me, with a 30 miler just a few days before. Way more than I really enjoyed doing... I like to max out at 20, or 25 in easier terrain. At least when I'm in thru-hiking shape. Nowadays I think 15 is my upper comfort limit... stupid desk job.

[Lone Wolf]

40 miles, full pack in just under 12 hours. watauga lake to damascus

[daddytwosticks]

Maybe 18 miles one day w/a full pack...not by choice. Guess I'm just a wuss..:(

[HiKen2011]

36 ft from couch to fridge, we are all cyberhikers right????????????

[Tenderheart]

Two 30.5 mile days on my AT thru hike, and two different 34 mile days on day hikes of the FHT.

[birdygal]

Up and down springer mountain to stover creek shelter 4 miles with a pack, 14 miles snake creek section of the pinhoti with a day pack

[kolokolo]

43 miles. PenMar to Harpers Ferry, then up the hill to the Comfort Inn.

[Hikerhead]

8 miles. Took me all day, got to camp after dark.

[Mr. BuffaloMan]

I did 26 into The Doyle in 8 hours with 70 lbs. If it hadn't been pouring down rain I would have gone on because the Doyle was full.

[gumball]

31 miles from I can't remember where we started into damascus. It was a great day :)

[HiKen2011]

My man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops, meant to quote you my friend!

[garlic08]

Low thirties for me, both with and without a pack. My biggest day on the AT was officially 29 miles, but that's not including a mile to and from an Italian restaurant.

But what about the next day? I favor day-to-day consistency over one big day. On the AT, I routinely hiked 100 miles in four days, resupplied, then did it again (at least in the easier sections--not NH or ME).

[ChinMusic]

Here we go. The pissing contest is on.

I didn't piss very far.

21 sans pack
17 with pack

[bobqzzi]

Day hike 22 miles up and down Mt. Whitney. That was a loooong day

[earlyriser26]

26 with a full pack and some big ups and downs. If town wasn't calling I never would have done it.

[johnnybgood]

24 miles with a pack during summer '09 in SNP.

[Mags]

About 2.5 ft is the longest I've hiked in one day. But, I am only 5'6" tall....

[John B]

Almost 25 miles once with about a 28 lbs pack. My feet felt like hamburger -- that seriously sore/raw feeling -- and I was exhausted at the end.

[Hikerhead]

Oops, meant to quote you my friend!

My man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh..it wasn't anything special but let me tell ya....I anin't doing that **** again. :)

[johnnybgood]

8 miles. Took me all day, got to camp after dark. ...and the legend of Hokey Pokey began.

[fiddlehead]

I remember a kid in our town when I was growing up.
He pissed over a railroad box car.
I saw him do it.

[map man]

52 miles from Finland to Lutsen on the Superior Hiking Trail in northern Minnesota. It was a trail race so it was supported and without a pack. But I'm counting it as "hiking" because the trail was tough enough that I spent more time walking than running:rolleyes: (it took me 15 hours, 42 minutes). My quads were shot for at least a week afterwards.

[4eyedbuzzard]

8 miles + distance between greens and tees. Played Pebble Beach twice in the same day.

[Chaco Taco]

Here we go. The pissing contest is on.

I pissed my tent once:o

[ironman y2k]

I swam 2.4 miles in open ocean then ran 26.2 miles thru lava fields of Kona, Hawaii. Not sure if the 112 mile bike ride that climbed an old volcano in between counts but if it does I travelled total of 140.6 miles in 12 hours 47 minutes. ....yes, that's where my trail name originates from.

[Mags]

I hiked from Denver to Rome one day too.

But there was a flight in the middle.

[Jim Adams]

Dennis Cove to Damascus, 53.1...one of the most stupid events of my life!...too sore and stiff to walk for the next 3 days.

[Destiny2012]

I go slow and enjoy nature, I take my time to get to the end. To me the journey is more important than the destination. I love meeting so many unique and awesome people. My last thru I did it in 7 months, I think my highest mileage day ever was no longer than 12 miles I think?

[wcgornto]

26.2 trail miles from Pinefield to Calf Mountain shelters in SNP. Of course, that doesn't count the detour to the wayside for breakfast and a blackberry milkshake ... another 2+ miles round trip.

[Hikemor]

25 miles, Winturri Shelter to Hanover, NH.

[nitewalker]

tom floyd wayside to skyland lodge. 33 miles of pleasure in 14 hours. after my body crashed i puked my guts up.....

[lemon b]

Around 25 miles a bunch of times when I was a kid. Now I stay under 12 so that my feet and knee do not ruin the next couple of days.

[Maynesxc]

Did 27.7 to finish up my Long Trail thru

[strollingalong]

the last 60kms of the camino de santiago.... Well 55, but I missed the hostel, walked past it 2kms then went back. drunk. had a glass of wine at all the cafes en route.. that's like 37 miles. but the camino is a piece of cake

[-SEEKER-]

i didn't piss very far.

21 sans pack
17 with pack

you just made my day!

[seminoles]

Low and slow.....12.5 miles, enjoyed the pace, scenery, conversation with my son
and at times thought my chest would explode.......can't wait to do it again.

[Raul Perez]

16.8 miles from RPH Shelter to Telephone Pioneers Shelter.... not much by many standards but it was a big one for me ;)

[paistes5]

All day is the longest I've hiked.

[Spider]

Did 29 on the last day of a month-long hike. Felt great afterwards. Was dead the next day.

[lemon b]

See one cat did 60 clicks. What limits me these days is common sence, Sure I can still do 40 or 50 clicks, but what for? So I have to figure out how to fix my toes and trick knee. Always found whe I was young the distance had to do with water.

[Sleepy the Arab]

62.2. Carter Notch Hut to Hall Mt. Lean-to with a 60 pound pack.

Then I went dancing.

[lemon b]

Robert Rogers and the Rangers did 35 clicks slept a couple hours and theb attacked. They killed like 25. Then humped out to camp 4 on the Ct. River, I always get confused if Major Rogers is a Marine or a paratrooper? Or just a straight leg 11Bush

[Pony]

One of my worst days of hiking was also my longest. 26 miles. After that I have only hiked 20+ miles out of neccesity. Trying to get to the post office mostly.

[Pony]

Anybody meet Dwayne from Florida in 2010? He hiked from Whitecap Mountain to Katahdin Stream campground in one day. Something like 71 miles, then got mad that the rangers wouldn't let him summit that day.

[Oleskool]

45 Miles, Cosby knob shelter in GSNP to Hot Springs. It took 24 hrs I had torn some legiments in my ankle and my wife and I made the rush on Hot springs before the swelling got to bad (which it did). That ended our thruhike this year, but we will be back this coming year.
