Hi all 👋🏼
During the pandemic, one thing that has really kept me going is hiking. From doing weekend hikes in England to dreaming about long-distance hikes abroad, it has been the perfect bit of escapism for me.
Over the Christmas break, I decided to create a list of long-distance hikes that I would love to go on - sort of like a bucket list. thruhikes.net is the start of that list.
I don't have any lofty goals with this. For now, I want it simply to be a growing list which can inspire and help people plan their next big adventure. I'll be adding 3-5 new hikes every day, so I expect the list to get pretty big in the near future.
Thank you for checking it out!
@wololodev Thank you! I do want to provide something useful in regards to trail route, but I'm not sure how I'll do it just yet. It's not in my immediate plans.
@andrew_b_martin thank you!
Alltrails is great and I use it myself. Even though I will focus on long-distance hikes, I think the main differentiator is that alltrails offers many different things (and does them well) while with thruhikes, I will focus on maintaining a curated list with as high a quality of information as possible.
I'm sure that this could lead to other avenues in the future, but for now my plan is to just make the list bigger, get more/better information and hopefully connect with some of the hikers who are using the website. This is by no means a fully fledged business, but I'm excited to see where it goes :)
