To report a completion of the Grand Enchantment Trail and have your name added to the 700 Milers' List, fill out and submit the form below, including the type of trip (thru-hike [bike, horse trip, etc.] or series of section hikes) and the year (or years) during which your hike occurred. Feel free to include additional information about your hike, such as the season and direction of travel, start/finish dates, and any observations or insights regarding your experience. Links to photos and journal entries that reflect on your time along the G.E.T. are also welcome.

(Standards for qualification: A trail completion means the hiker has walked the entire 700+ mile distance between the G.E.T.'s termini at Phoenix and Albuquerque, following the suggested (primary) trail route, and/or its alternate routes or those of the hiker's own making. Exceptions are granted, within reason, in the event that a small section or sections of the route were closed to travel - by official order or natural circumstances - at the time of the hiker's arrival, thereby compelling the hiker, in the interest of safety or prudence and after exhausting all reasonable alternatives, to detour by vehicle or otherwise "skip" such sections.)
