The Internet is full of great outdoor related websites, but it isn’t always easy to find them. That’s why a site called Happy to Survive has compiled a list of their selections for the 151 best backpacking and hiking websites of all time with some familiar and not so well known pages – including this one –making the list.
Some of the more well known websites the earn a spot on the list include our friends over at the Adventure Journal (#2), adventurer Alastair Humphreys (#4), and Section Hiker (#11). Others that are favorites of mine include The Gear Caster (#22), Explorer Eric Larsen’s site (#25), and The Dirtbag Diaries (#28) and Best Hike (#44).
With 151 entires on the list, this is just scratching the surface however, and no matter where you live or how you hike, it is almost certain that you’ll find a site or three that will draw your interest. In terms of lists of top outdoor websites, I’m not sure if I’ve seen one quite this comprehensive. Not only are there a lot of good sites, but they range widely in topics too.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t send a thank you out to the Happy to Survive team for including The Adventure blog on the list. My humble little site manages to earn the 24th spot overall, which is pretty good considering this isn’t strictly a hiking and backpacking site. I’m honored to be included amongst so many other great bloggers, adventurers, and explorers. It was also a lot of fun to discover some new sites that I hadn’t seen before.
