I recently blocked some accounts that are religiously affiliated. I respect everyone's right to worship as they choose. However, I do not respect telling other people they need to live their lives according to your wishes. This page is for hiking related recreation, not organized religion.

How do folks decide which of the many trail associations to support? Do you base it on areas where you have explored, where you want to explore, or are there other criteria you use to make the decision?

I checked out Evolvesupplyco.com , and they have some sweet looking packs and camp supplies for a reasonable price.

Hey All, Please keep your post related to hiking, backpacking, camping or other outdoor activities. Gear reviews and other related posts are also appreciated. There are plenty of other outlets available for cat videos, photos of your favorite food, political rants etc. Thank You!!

Any one have big plans for 2025? Thru hikes, loops, training programs for the summer, fall or 2026?

I will be continuing my recovery walks now that my shoulder replacement is done and I am 1/2 way through my PT. I plan on having my pack fully loaded and into the Sawtooth Mountains by August!!

A great opportunity to get more folks out on (and off) the trail. Take a look at the American Long Distance Hiking Association for more details here http:www.aldhawest.org/2025scholarshipapplication

My purpose in starting this page is to share the beauty and positivity of hiking the many incredible areas of the western US. That being said, this article is too important to not post, despite how negatively it impacts the hiking community. aztrail.org/arizona-trai...

Looking for info about, or folks interested in, backpacking the Oregon Desert Trail in 2026 or 2027. Or possibly the New Mexico portion of the Continental Divide Trail.
