I just stumbled upon some epic trail lists for 2025 and I’m totally pumped about planning a few adventures! I’ve been dreaming about those bucket list hikes where nature is at its most wild and raw, and I’m on the hunt for insider tips on where to start. Has anyone discovered new or underrated trails that are set to be must-do experiences next year? Also, what hiking gear upgrades have really made a difference on long treks—think along the lines of boots, backpacks, or even that one piece of tech you just can’t leave home without? Would love to hear your recommendations and any stories from your recent trips!
