Unexpected Hiking Resources

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.

Apps like Komoot are another great resource for hikers. There are numerous apps available that provide trail maps, GPS tracking, and weather updates.

Some apps even include interactive features like photos and reviews from other hikers on the world’s best hikes.

I even built a custom hiking time calculator to help you plan.

Enjoy these informative articles to help you plan your next Adventure.

about-image

We obsess about food and travel in Outdoor Europe to learn more about people.

The wonder, connection and taste experience of hut-to-hut hiking in the Italian Dolomites inspired me to share it with the world!

We travel in the Outdoors to:

  • Savor regional food, wine & hot cocoa.
  • Walk lightly on this planet & view incredible scenery.
  • Connect with family, locals and to ourselves.

On this blog and my podcast "Craving Adventure", you'll find practical tips to plan experiences of a lifetime & stories of people connecting to what really counts by getting off the beaten path.

Any questions?
