Day Hiking Trail Guides

Day Hiking Trail Guides

I started hiking in elementary school with my family and graduated to planning my own hikes as soon as I had my own car. I’ve hiked hundreds of trails all over the world, but my favourites are near my home in British Columbia.

Here are my detailed hiking trail guides. (Psst: If you’re looking for multi-day hiking trails, check out my list of backpacking trail guides.)
