About Trail & Summit
Who We Are
Trail & Summit is a community-driven resource for hikers, backpackers, and outdoor enthusiasts of every skill level. Whether you’re lacing up boots for the first time or planning a thru-hike across a national scenic trail, we’ve got something for you.
What We Cover
Trail Guides - Detailed write-ups on our favorite hikes, from quick day loops to multi-day backcountry routes. Every guide includes distance, elevation gain, difficulty, and practical tips from people who’ve actually walked the trail.
Gear Reviews - Honest, field-tested reviews of hiking boots, packs, tents, and the small stuff that makes a big difference. No affiliate gimmicks - just what works and what doesn’t.
Safety & Skills - The wilderness doesn’t care about your fitness tracker. We cover navigation, weather reading, wildlife encounters, Leave No Trace ethics, and what to do when things go sideways.
Our Philosophy
The best gear is the gear you already own. The best trail is the one you can get to. We believe outdoor adventure should be accessible, not gated behind expensive equipment or Instagram-worthy destinations.
Start where you are. Walk further than yesterday. Repeat.
