Considering a trip to Alaska this summer in early july. The original plan was for Banff, but all the hiking permits are doled out it seems (for any of the trails people write blogs about... anyway). So, looking in to Alaska... Doesn't seem like the travel time or costs are really any different, anyway. One thing that I seem to have trouble finding would be marked-trail overnight hikes. It seems like the overnight hikes there are true wilderness hikes. Is that the case? Should I just find a regular campground for a night or two just for the sake of getting in a tent (and saving some cash...) a ..read more

Hi all, like the title says I'm looking for places to start research from. I love going to North America for the wild places but it's a big commitment and I'd like to connect with the places closer to home. I am UK based and have done a lot in the north west of Scotland including the Cape Wrath Trail. Getting out for real is limited here and there isn't anywhere large that isn't cultivated in some way. I also do love the alpine trails, but those are a different thing, I'm craving another expedition to somewhere remote. Scandinavia or eastern Europe is looking promising but any experiences or ..read more

I got a Overnight Trail permit for May 22-25, I would be arriving at the trail head on May 22nd around 10pm, am I required to enter the trail at that time or can I start the next morning(May 23) from the trail head? Any help to clear this up would be great!! submitted by /u/Substantial_Job7551 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Like I said early may will be my first time hiking and I plan on going alone, I have shoes and a general idea as to what I would need to bring but would like some more guidance as to what specifically I would need. Going alone is non-negotiable so I intend to stay on the trails and follow directions so with that in mind a list of supplies I need would be very helpful. submitted by /u/Successful-Way-6086 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

If I use a Platypus or Sawyer water filter is that good enough or do I also need to treat with Aqua Mira tabs/solution? I'll be getting water from the West Gila River, Prior Creek, and the Little Bear Trail area the first week of May. TIA submitted by /u/KMSven [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a 2 day backpacking trip later this week and wanted to know if the parking is accessible with a lowered car. Obviously a terrible choice for the outdoors but it’s all I have at the moment and don’t want to drive all the way there and run into issues. I’m on coils and have some clearance. So it y’all can let me know I’d appreciate it!!! Thanks submitted by /u/cevichelover [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
