HOKA ONE ONE Speedgoat 5 Trail Runner Review

The HOKA ONE ONE Speedgoat 5 is a lightweight trail running shoe with a Vibram sole that's a popular choice among runners, thru-hikers, and backpackers alike. It's the successor to the Speedgoat 4 and HOKA has made some serious improvements to the shoe; my favorite being the Speedgoat 5's new back

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT Review

The Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite NXT from Cascade Designs is a three-season 13 oz / 369 g inflatable sleeping pad with a 4.5 R-value (the measure of resistance to heat flow through a given thickness of material). It's the next evolution in what's essentially become the default ultralight,

Three-Season Backpacking Gear List for 2023

Three-season backpacking (aka backpacking outside of the winter months) more typically lends itself to summer and/or fair weather backpacking despite including both spring and fall. That said, here's everything you'll need - and everything I bring - for three-season success in the

Hayduke Trail Grand Canyon Itinerary

Every Hayduke thru-hiker will need a Hayduke Trail Grand Canyon itinerary. The trail spends nearly 150 mi / 240 km in Grand Canyon National Park and all Hayduke hikers will need a Grand Canyon backcountry permit. It's one of the few permits hikers will be required to get if they intend to hike the

The Best Pacific Crest Trail Moments in 2022

Hayduke Trail Permits: A Detailed Guide

A single Hayduke Trail permit does not exist because the Hayduke isn't an officially established trail. Instead, it's a popular backpacking route that traverses multiple areas maintained by multiple agencies. Some employees and/or agencies are more aware of the trail than others. Many of these

The Most Popular Thru-Hiker Trail Names

Trail names are a tradition in the long-distance hiking community. They're essentially nicknames that hikers go by while on the trail - and sometimes off the trail as well. Generally, but not always, these names are fairly abstract (i.e. not something that would traditionally be someone's name).
