Find a Trail

This Google Map is a map of all the hikes I’ve written about on this site. Use this to see what’s in or near the area you’re looking for, and click beneath it to view a larger version in a new window.

Each hike is color coded by difficulty:
- GREEN markers are short nature trails, gently-graded pathways, and routes that are relatively easy.
- BLUE markers designate the “moderate” difficulty hikes. These trails may be lengthy, or have areas of intense elevation gain. They may require some scrambling, but most of these trails are easy day hikes that can be done by anyone in fairly decent shape.
- RED markers are for the “strenuous” trails. These are long, leg-busting paths that will require lots of time and effort. Some of these trails may venture through dangerous areas and require river crossings, backcountry orienteering, or more serious rock scrambling. In other words, if it’s your first time on the trail, don’t pick one of these.

Clicking on a trail’s marker will bring up a photo and a short paragraph describing the route. This description will contain a link to the trail’s page on Modern Hiker, which will give you a much more in-depth description, as well as GPS information, elevation profiles, directions, distances, and pretty much everything you’d ever want to know about a specific trail.

… or, for those of you who are more inclined toward the noble
“list” format, please continue below.
