Thru-hiking trail ideas

planning guides & trip reports: permits, transportation, gear, trailheads, camping, water, and more

Knowing where to go and how to get there is half the challenge of choosing a thru-hike.

We're dedicated to making an inclusive outdoor space where everyone—regardless of how far or fast you go—can make smart, safe, and responsible backpacking decisions.

Go on a thru-hike. Help the planet. Thru-hikes for everyone.
