The American Discovery Trail passes over three time zones boundaries in five states. The ADT Guides pinpoint where your GPS-enabled watch is likely to go crazy.

### Northern Route

Beginning in the **Pacific Time Zone** and heading east from Point Reyes National Seashore, it is an **893.57-mile** trip to reach the **Mountain Time Zone** boundary along the Nevada/Utah border. 

From there, it is a quick 1,403.07 miles to Lincoln County, Nebraska, along the ADT Northern Route, where you will lose an hour's sleep by entering the **Central Time Zone.** You will remain in the Central Time Zone for the next **1239.01 miles** through eastern Nebraska, all of Iowa and Illinois, and two-thirds of Indiana until you reach [**JK Imports and Deli**](https://www.yelp.com/biz/jk-imports-groceries-and-deli-monterey?ref=hikingamerica.com) in Starke County.

After grabbing a couple of **cured sausage sticks** for the road, you cross into Pulaski County and the **Eastern Time Zone**, where you will remain for the final 1313.49-mile push to the shores of Cape Henlopen, Delaware.

### Southern Route

As with the Northern Route, you begin in the **Pacific Time Zone** at the Point Reyes National Seashore and reach the **Mountain Time Zone** **893.57 miles** later along the Nevada/Utah border. 

Then it is a long **1500.99 miles** spent going up and over and down the Rocky Mountains to finally move into the **Central Time Zone** in the plains of Kearney County, Kansas. Continue east across Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and into Crawford County, Indiana, **1276.77 miles** later to enter the **Eastern Time Zone** finally. 

Another **1296.11 miles**, and you reach the **Eastern Terminus of the American Discovery Trail.**
