When planning a hiking trip, it’s essential to have the right resources at your fingertips. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a beginner, there are numerous resources available to help you make the most of your adventure.
One of the best resources for safe hiking is a good guidebook, online forum such as facebook groups, and IRL community of hikers.
