Firsthand hiking and backpacking guides with practical route and trip planning advice.
About Hike Bike Travel
Hike Bike Travel publishes detailed, firsthand hiking and backpacking guides and trip reports, with an emphasis on national-park routes and overnight treks. The site hosts more than 1,056 posts and is updated every few weeks, averaging about three new posts a month. Recent coverage highlights Canadian parks such as Banff, Jasper, Glacier and Waterton, alongside broader pieces on Europe day hikes. Articles focus on trail descriptions, route advice and where to stay, reflecting on personally tested routes and real trip experience.
Hands-on trail testing is the blog's calling card. The writing implied by titles like Personally Tested and the steady stream of park guides reads practical and matter-of-fact, built around real hikes rather than abstract tips. We particularly enjoyed the deep, route-focused pieces for Banff, Jasper and Glacier National Park, and the overnight backpacking reports that include where to camp or stay. The archive is large, with more than a thousand posts and a steady cadence of new guides a few times a month, so readers can expect both evergreen classics and fresh trip reports on a regular basis.
