Tom Mangan our online hiking guru. Here are 5 ways he researches best hikes:
1. State parks. (Google the one you want.)
2. AllTrails – http://alltrails.com - AllTrails allows you to search by zip code to find trails, post reviews, keep a journal of your hikes and scan for local events. …
3 EveryTrail – http://www.everytrail.com – EveryTrail's technology allows people to document their hikes via GPS, pictures, videos and smartphones. …
4. Local Hikes – http://www.localhikes.com - Local Hikes is an old-school online hiking site (if you can imagine such a thing): It's based on hikes near major metro areas, and includes topographic maps and reviews of each hike. …
Conspicuously absent from that list is Trails.com, a database of 49,000 trails. It’s a walled garden, requiring a paid membership for a full membership. I don’t need it. And neither does Tom.
