I'm looking for a wiki to use and contribute to that provides information similar to what AllTrails provides, and functions similarly to Wikipedia. I would like for the wiki's data to be free and open, and for it to operate under a reasonably permissive license.

Currently on rehab to get sober after 24 years. Views like this definitely helps a lot

Day-hiking to the LeConte Lodge was more than refreshing and in beautiful November weather.

There's nothing to see here through winter, spring, summer, autumn, rain or shine. Go somewhere else. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can take a hike for 4 or maybe 5 days this summer in the Japanese Alps. The Northern Alps around tsurugidake seem like the place to be. But I was also considering central Alps for a shorter hike and then divert to Mt. Fuji which I've never seen before.

Thoughts? Experiences? Ideas?

This was a category two hike 3 miles up a mountain. Largest hike I have ever undertaken. But was amazing view and worth the hell we went through to reach the top.

Fantastic hike with incredible views

I spent most of the morning at Mogan Ridge West, putting in about 12 miles in all. Basically, I hiked the outer loop, though I did bushwhack about a mile and a half for variety.

We're definitely into summer hiking weather here, with high humidity, spider webs, gnats, and ticks. This trail also hasn't seen much use lately, so it's overgrown in grass in many areas. About half of it is gravel road, so you can combine unpleasant walking surface with increased ticks and chiggers.

Still, it was a pleasant walk in the woods and decent exercise. I met one other hiker about halfway and we swapped notes on which local trails were worth revisiting. Fortunately we were hiking in opposite directions so we didn't have to have the awkward conversation about whether to hike together.

I spent the day yesterday wandering around some trails in the Shawnee National Forest (southern Illinois) from the Golden Circle trailhead to Pounds Hollow and back. I didn't keep super good track of my route, but it was something like (trail numbers): 1440 to 154 to 001 to 155 to 001 to 137A to 165 to 166 to 164 to 001 to 180 to 185 to 184 to 183 to 006, bushwhack to 134 to 006A to 006B to 109, roadwalk Karbers Ridge to 001 to 010A. Whew! The River to River Trail Society has some excellent brochures with georeferenced PDFs that cover trails in this area.

The weather was a bit sticky, but not too bad - high temps in the lower 80s. Between some recent rain and increased horse traffic for the summer, low spots in the trails are getting pretty torn up in places, particularly as you get closer to the various horse camps. Poison ivy is out in force,

Great wide views of the lake from atop the hill and lots of easy walking with the odd fence hop

I have a ~22 inch torso. I bought the osprey poco plus child carrier which says it supports 22 inch torsos. I went a couple three hour hikes this weekend and my shoulders were done at the end of each. this isn't normal, right? I am thinking of trying another carrier, but i am worried there are no child carriers for tall people.

Went her as a side trip on the Rees Dart track from Queenstown. It was a pretty grueling ascent from the hut, climbing almost 1000 metres on scree and rocks. The 18 km round trip took us quite a while!

This hike (5 days total) was absolutely stunning.

Would love to see people sharing one or a few pictures from their most recent hike.

I'll start with: My best hiking pal, my doggo, gazing along the trail (local trail in Sweden).

Did a couple of days of hiking with my buddy last month. As a flatlander, I was so grateful for the chance to spend some time in the Rockies.

Long hike in canton Soluthurn in Switzerland. Quick stop for breakfast.

Little hike mid March 2023
