HikaNation

HIkaNation, also called Hikanation, was a trans-continental walk across the United States that began on April 12, 1980 and ended May 27, 1981. The walk was conceived by Jim Kern, who helped establish the Florida Trail, and Bill , who was the editor of Backpacker Magazine, as a way to increase interest in hiking, support the newly formed American Hiking Society (AHS), and possibly set a path for a West to East transcontinental hiking trail that could mirror long trails such as the Appalachian Trail.
