Average Hiker

Hi

Backpacking and hiking have been a big part of my life for over 35 years. Around life and work, I’ve thru-hiked thousands of miles in the US, including many long-distance trails – Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Benton Mackaye Trail, Arizona Trail, Colorado Trail, Superior Trail, Foothills Trail, etc.

This website contains hiking insights, guides, gear reviews, stories, and a hodgepodge of other mostly hiking-related content about the wilderness and trails I love.

I hope you find the information helpful as you plan your hike, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask @ averagehiker@gmail.com.
