Other Hiking Links

The Hiking Upward Website

This is an excellent site hosted by Tony Van Vugt. If you want info on day hikes in northern VA and north-east WV this is the site to visit. With details for over 40 hikes posted you should find a trek to your liking!

The PA Hikes Website

Scott Adams specializes in hikes in PA. I've recently reviewed this site and I like what I see: maps, descriptions, trail notes, photos for hikes in central and north-central PA. Some just happen to be at venues that are on my "to explore list" so I'll be visiting this site a lot in the near future.

Dimitri has been leading hikes and collecting GPS data over the past five years plus. He finally began organizing the knowledge he has gained on this web site. Currently it features 300+ hikes in the Mid-Atlantic.  Stop back often as he is constantly adding information to the site.

A site dedicated to the experiences shared around a fire ring. It includes  photos taken on various hikes in Maryland and around the country and stories about hiking and camping.

A project of the Great Eastern Trail Association, working with American Hiking Society and local trail partners, to create America's newest long distance trail for hikers from Alabama to New York!

The Slackpacker Website

I don't know how he does it but Rick has been able to develop a site with links to assorted sites concerning hikes in all of the states. The sites range from Plain Jane with basic info to ones that have all of the bells and whistles found on a professionaly maintained site.
