What’s the longest perfectly straight line you could walk across a U.S. state without ever crossing a road?
I mapped it for 8 12 states. The rules: every road counts (paved, gravel, dirt, forest, 4WD), and the line has to stay on public land the whole way, end to end. The answers:
| State | Miles |
| Alaska | 531mi |
| California | 159mi |
| Washington | 107mi |
| Idaho | 99mi |
| Montana | 98mi |
| Utah | 75mi |
| Florida | 72mi |
| Arizona | 56mi |
| Colorado | 56mi |
| Nevada | 50mi |
| Oregon | 49mi |
| New Mexico | 49mi |
Now a standing challenge: follow the line. End to end, single push, human power only. GPX tracks + topo maps for every state at The Longest Line!
