With so much amazing geography the US is a brilliant place for getting-way-from-it-all, long-distance treks. We want to hear about incredible hikes and great places to stay en route, from log cabins to national park campsites, plus tips on guides and what kit to take. Any chance encounters with wildlife are also welcome. The trails don’t have to be in well known national parks, but anywhere in the country’s wildernesses.
Send us a tip via GuardianWitness, with as much detail as you can (including website and prices etc, if possible) in around 100 words.
The best tips will appear in print in next weekend’s Travel section and the winner, chosen by Lonely Planet, will receive a £200 hotel voucher from UK.hotels.com, allowing you to stay in more than 260,000 places worldwide. Submit your tip by clicking the blue button and using the text tab.
You’re welcome to add a photo if you own the copyright to it – but it’s the text we’ll be judging.
