Our Favorite Hike in Every State

It's no secret that we love hiking.

By: The Outbound Collective + Save to a List

We are inspired by the community-sourced trails and routes that are shared on The Outbound Collective every day. From coast to coast, we think the United States has some of the most diverse, challenging, and beautiful hikes anywhere in the world.

Picking just one favorite hike in every state is hard to do, but we gave it a try.

Don't see your favorite hike? Maybe it's not on The Outbound Collective yet! Add it here.
