Welcome!

Trails, gear, community, and more....all about backpacking in the U.S. Midwest. This site is meant to pull together information and people who just want to get out and leave nothing behind. Got a site to add to the map? Just click on the link below it and use the Google Map application to add to it. I'm also looking for people who want to add blog posts about their experiences to make this site more informative. Please email me if you want to be able to add blog posts or if you have any comments or questions.

Cheers,
Ben

Kickoff

Hey all -

Well, this is the first post of hopefully many as part of a way of putting backpacking info for the Midwest area in one spot. I'm trying to get out more often and I wanted a way to find the info I needed quickly so thus "Midwest Backpacker" was born. I hope the site is useful and helps get people beyond that "Where should we go" or "Where do I get some gear" question. Please let me know if you'd like to add info on the site.....I'm open to suggestions, especially details on trails and places to buy gear. Happy hiking!

Ben
