The magazine for people who sleep in the dirt.

Join the movement.

The adventure community has had enough mass produced, ad-filled, cheap magazines from outdoor media monopolies. Trails Magazine isn't that. We're an independent, quarterly, print-only, high-quality coffee table magazine for the backpacking and trail community.

Independent

Too many magazines that you find at the grocery store are owned by massive outdoor media monopolies more concerned with selling NFTs than sharing good adventure stories. Trails Mag is completely independent, written for—and by—those of us actually sleeping in the dirt.

Coffee Table Quality

Trails Mag isn't mass-produced. It's printed on high-quality paper, it's thick with content, and it puts an emphasis on high-quality design and beautiful large-format photography. This isn't a magazine you throw out when the next one arrives.

Real Adventure Stories

This is what we've all been missing from legacy publications. True, exciting, inspiring stories from adventurers in destinations you're going to want to add to your bucket list, mixed in with gear reviews, destination highlights, and explainers you can actually use.

Fewer Ads

Legacy magazines stayed afloat (or didn't) by keeping issues ridiculously cheap and jamming ads into every nook and cranny. No more of that. We're strictly limiting ads and carefully choosing advertisers that we believe in and can impact your adventures.

Print First

We want to bring you the things you didn't realize you needed to know. The beauty—and fun—of print is the ability to browse and discover, something a web search will always have a hard time replicating. That's why Trails will only be available in print. No paywalls, no logins, just your mailbox.

Get The Hiker Box!

Our take on the email newsletter, The Hiker Box a grab bag of digital clutter, chock full of updates on the progress of the magazine, stuff we liked (and think you will too), news, and—of course—perks and discounts! 

Think of it as our way of sharing all the random junk we've come across lately.
