Hiking Library

A curated collection of exceptional hiking websites and articles.

The internet is an invaluable research tool for hikers and backpackers seeking advice about gear, looking to learn new skills, or planning a section hike or thru-hike of a long trail. However, there is so much information available on the internet that for many, especially beginners, it is difficult to determine what is relevant or trustworthy. I have used my experience as a backpacker, history researcher and teacher to evaluate sources and curate a collection of exceptional hiking websites and articles.

EXPERT ADVICE: My favorite sites for expert advice on hiking trailcraft, backpacking campcraft, gear, and how to plan your next hike or backpacking adventure.
