I just learned of the Canol Trail, the longest hiking trail in North America, 220 miles of abandoned oil pipeline through Canada

Starting at the Northwest Territories border, the Canol strikes out through the Mackenzie Mountains, carrying backpackers 355 foot-wearying, eye-popping, soul-stirring kilometres. The trail follows the defunct Canol Road and Pipeline – a wildly ambitious effort during the Second World War to pump gas from Norman Wells to the allied forces on the Pacific Front. Today the pipe is long gone and the "road" is an overgrown path. But all along the way you'll find relics from the war, like Quonset huts, barracks, abandoned vehicles, and waterfalls
