Your website is one of the best on the internet! Easy to read, tons of content, love the pictures, advice, trails, the list goes on. Thank you Back Packer... Can't hike because of lower back issues so this web page makes my day!!! Keep up the GREAT work! Love it!
— Craig Porzondek

#3 & 4 are about 10 miles from where I live. Nothing too special about Harper's Creek Shelter, though
