		<description><![CDATA[Labor Day has come and gone. To many, this marks the end of summer. Call us old fashioned, but we go by the ol&#8217; Gregorian calendar: there are still officially 15 days left of summer (the equinox falls on the 23rd this year). To confirm our autumnal denial, we&#8217;ve compiled a list of six end-of-summer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer in the United States isn&#8217;t officially over for three more weeks, but Monday&#8217;s snow at roughly 8,000 feet in northern Utah reminded us just how quickly autumn can arrive in the mountains. So we&#8217;ve come up with a few trails from which to see the leaves&#8217; true colors when they show through &#8230; very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The granddaddy of the long trails, the Appalachian Trail’s 2174.6 miles help preserve the sanity of between three to four million hikers each year—even if they only take a brief stroll on the trail. Only a fraction of those trail users attempt to walk the entire trail. In fact, of the 200 hikers who attempt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most challenging of America’s long trails, the Continental Divide Trail crosses 3100 miles of rugged terrain along the crest of the Rockies. The fact that this trail follows the divide for nearly its entire length means that thunderstorms, brutal climbs and descents, and route-finding difficulties are all major obstacles for any would-be CDT hiker.

Thanks to a complex process of deduction (throwing darts at a dusty map), we compiled a rockin&#8217; list [...]]]></description>

Warm, sunny rock starts to overpower bottomless pow as the subject of your dreams, and you yearn to peel off those heavy layers in exchange for flip flops and a T-shirt [...]]]></description>
