Welcome to It’s A Trail Thing!
If you’ve found this site, you’ve experienced it. The comfort of silence and solitude as you hike alone through a forest. The feeling you get when you see a sunrise that is all your own. The grandeur of the mountains and the smallness of your own existence. The conversations with hiking partners that somehow penetrate the core of your beings. The joy of a first ascent. The exhilaration of skiing a new objective. It can be hard to describe these feelings exactly, but they are the reason you keep going back for more.
We want everyone to have the opportunity to share in these experiences. This site will serve to capture some of the magic moments that our writers have on the trail, while providing guides to help you and others discover new places.
Our site is brand new, so make sure to subscribe and get notified as we produce new content. We are based in Northern Minnesota, so much of our articles focus on the best hikes along the North Shore, but as we explore new places, we’ll show you those too.
Last of all, remember – you don’t need to put the magic of the trail into words. It’s just a trail thing.
