It’s just truly remote,” Bennet said. “There’s so much history that’s still visible out there. All the markers along the trail, all the historical markers and all the buildings, a number of them have been restored and are still kept up, but a number of them have just kind of been left to mother nature.”

Bennet said she is always looking to share the experience of the trail with other people through her online map which featured rest stops, hotels and geocaching spots along her log of the long journey. She said she’d like to see more people add their own reports to the online trail log, even if they are only able to tackle a section of the route.
