Laugavegur Trail | Best Hiking Trail of All Time?

Hiking Iceland's Laugavegur Trail - a 54 km long distance hiking trail in Iceland. The trail is located in the southern Icelandic highlands and is accessible from June to September. We hiked the trail in late August - early September 2022 in about three days. For me, the Laugavegur Trail is the best long distance hiking trail I've ever done, simply because the variety in the scenery you get in only 54 km is unmatched, with everything from volcanic ash deserts to snowy glaciers to waterfalls to mountaintops. The weather can be brutal and some river crossings are difficult, but otherwise this trail can be done with proper preparation and normal fitness.
