About Me

Welcome to Hike the World!

For me, hiking has been a part of my life for as a long as I can remember. There is just something about hiking that brings me such joy, and makes me feel at peace.

I unfortunately have had the pleasure of growing up in Illinois, which in my opinion, is not a great state for hiking given the fact that this state is very flat. Because of this, I have always been on the move to find locations that will take my breath away. I have indeed traveled to breath taking locations and hiked as much as my body could take, and those locations are something I am looking forward to sharing with you.

This page is dedicated to sharing information about hiking, including hiking trails throughout the US, (and maybe outside the US), my personal experiences with hiking, as well as the aspect of traveling.
You can expect to see in my upcoming blog posts:

  • Trails I have personally hiked on
  • States and trails that are on my bucket list to hike
  • Information about what else these great hiking areas have to offer
  • Everything you will need to know to get started hiking


Hiking is something that is a part of who I am, and it is important to me that I share my passion with those who are interested in getting started hiking.

If you have never hiked before, my page is a great place to get basic information about what it is like to hike in different areas across the United States.


If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email!

Devil's Lake State Park

Image
In Baraboo, Wisconsin, Devil’s Lake State Park resides which offers several different trails, as well as a lake. I want to talk about this state park because not only is it a great place for hiking, but because I have actually been hiking it since I was a little girl. Devil’s lake is pretty big, offering about 30 miles of trails throughout the park, and has cabins in case any of you were interested in making a trip out of coming here. You can either come into the park on the north shore or the south shore, and each shore has different trails to hike. My preference is coming in on the south shore, because it provides an immediate access to the scenery of the lake, as well as quick access to the hiking trails. My favorite trails to do here at Devil’s lake include the potholes trail, balanced rock trail, and the devil’s doorway trail. Potholes trail is very challenging in my opinion, because this trail takes you straight up to the top. The trail is vertical ro...

Ramona Falls, Oregon

Ramona Falls! Ramona Falls is located about an hour east of Portland, Oregon, and you guessed it; features a stunning waterfall at the end of the hike! The hike is about 7 miles long and has been reviewed as easy to moderate, so it is doable for beginners, and especially doable for more experienced hikers. I have been to Oregon once, and let me tell you, it’s a beautiful place. When I had the opportunity to go to Oregon, I did quite a bit of hiking and it filled with lots of green forests and stunning overlooks at the top of each hike. It has been my goal to get back to Oregon and do some more hiking and I have been set on hiking Ramona Falls, considering I did not see any waterfalls in my previous hikes in Oregon. A few facts about this hike: 7 miles’ round-trip, labeled as out and back. Around 1000 feet elevation gain Can be very crowded Hiking this trail is primarily through early spring to late fall for best weather conditions I know a ...

Hiking Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park! Yosemite National Park is located near Stockton, California, and caught my eye due to its beautiful waterfalls and rock formations. I have never been to California, but I am recently discovering that California has a lot of beautiful places that are great for hiking. I’m hoping one day I will be able to hike Yosemite, so let me tell you a little about it and maybe you will want to hike it too! Yosemite has not just one, but multiple different waterfalls that you can explore!  A few are: Yosemite Falls – around 2,500 feet. Sentinel Falls – around 1,600 feet. Ribbon Fall – around 1,600 feet. Nevada Fall – around 600 feet. Vernal Fall – around 300 feet. Aside from the waterfalls, like I said before, there are a lot of different places here that you can hike. A cool one I have researched is called Hetch Hetchy. Hetch Hetchy is known for its extremely long hiking season, which is great because you would never really ...
