Soak up sunshine and crisp mountain air in North America this summer.

The US has epic landscapes to explore in every state. However, you don’t need to drive all day to find a stunning natural wilderness. Nor do you need superhuman stamina to enjoy the great outdoors.

Check out easily accessible hiking trails that are fit for beginners or intermediates yet still deliver that wow factor in California, Colorado and Utah.

 

Mammoth Mountain Trail – Mammoth Mountain, California

The Mammoth Mountain trail in California winds down the back of the mountain, with incredible views of the San Joaquin river valley and surrounding peaks. Stretching for five miles one-way and taking around three hours, the trail stops via Reds Lake before ending at the Main Lodge. www.mammothmountain.com

The hike is three miles to Shirley Lake and another two miles to High Camp, with a total elevation gain of 2,000 feet, making it suitable for intermediate hikers. www.palisadestahoe.com

 

Creekside/Flume Loop – Winter Park, Colorado

This mellow, five mile hike meanders through aspen and pine trees and follows the St Louis Creek where there’s great views of Byers Peak. Elevation change is minimal so the trail is relatively easy for gentle hikers to follow. www.winterparkresort.com
