Day hikes are to the outdoors what short stories are to literature – concise and yet a full tale packed into short-form storytelling.

Compass Points from time to time highlights day hikes, providing you with information to help you find the trailhead and all the vistas, waterfalls and summits in between. This feature is called DAY HIKER.

I’ve gathered all the DAY HIKER posts here for your convenience. Don’t see one you think ought to be here? Just let me know.
