Sic. A paradox of hiking is that you often need a car precisely to get as far away from cars as possible.
Mexico is a pretty bad place for long-distance hiking, so I decided to explore the neighboring hiker’s paradise for my traditional birthday hike. But, it’s notoriously hard to travel around the US without a car (at least until we win The War on Cars).
In the end, I managed to pull off a plan of 4 weeks and 600 km of premium hiking using only public transportation, a direct flight from MEX, and a single hotel night. I’m detailing here these tricky logistics.
