Get to Know Your Trails Before You Go
It’s good to know what to expect when hitting a new trail. We do our best to identify the good, the bad, and those little details that can make all the difference to a great day out!
We Encourage Discovery
Embrace Your Adventure
As much as we love our technology there is nothing that compares to seeing the sunrise from atop a mountain or watching the river flow by in a tree-lined meadow. As fun as each adventure to a remote or semi-remote trail is, it’s still a good idea to be aware of where you’re going before you actually hit the trail. That’s where HikeAlong comes in! We can’t replace experiencing a trail in person but we can help you make sure you get the most from your day out!
Full Recordings
Watch our full-length trail videos to see everything the trail has to offer! They make for great background ambiance.
In-Depth Reviews
We try to review all aspects of a trail, the good and the bad, then provide a succinct but detailed review.
Detailed Maps
We love maps! See maps of the trails we’ve reviewed with details pointing out everything from where to park to the best photo spots.
The Log
Latest Sunrises

Laurel Ridge Trail
A fun trail with views of Lake Lanier, the Buford Dam, and the Chattahoochee River all in one loop — but watch for the missing markers.

Venable Lake Loop
A tucked-away loop on the Cherokee Trail that keeps you beside the water almost the whole way, with great views back to Stone Mountain.
