We’d rather have the trails be available to the hiking community than the few bucks that affiliate links or some type of donation would bring us.
Please consider making a donation to one of the many trail associations.
These hardworking folks make the trails we love enjoyable by their trail maintenance, behind the scenes administration work as well as regional & national lobbying efforts to protect the backcountry areas that we all love.
Here is a list of some of the associations in North America:
Pacific Crest Trail Association
Continental Divide Trail Coalition
Green Mountain Club – The Long Trail
