103 Hikes to Make This Your Best Year Ever
Now is the perfect time to dust off your gear and start deciding where you’ll spend the rest of the year hiking… that’s right, even in winter! The experts at Backpacker created this trail calendar with over one hundred locations for you to explore.
The Perfect Long Hike Companion
When JetBoil unveiled its revolutionary stoves in 2004, they upended camp cooking for good: Thanks to ultra-fast boil times, mountaineers knew they could count on French-press coffee before an alpine start on Rainier, and ultralight backpackers could squeeze extra whole days out of a single fuel canister and ditch an entire cookset. Eighteen years later, JetBoil still leads the pack with the Flash, which shaves an entire minute off of their industry-leading boil time. Modular accessories like the aforementioned coffee press, skillet, and cooking supports expand your culinary options, and a color-change heat indicator helps you graduate from ramen to gourmet in even the most rugged conditions. Decades later, the telltale roar of a JetBoil still triggers a Pavlovian response in adventurers who know: Something hot and delicious is on the way, very soon.
