No matter what you want to do here in the states, it's probably illegal on some technicality or another.
It's illegal on land controlled by the National Park Service, except in cases where local exceptions exist. Elsewhere, it's up to the states, and only five prohibit the practice. The general federal statute only forbids pedestrians from being in the roadway - that's literally in the roadway, not on the shoulder.
