 Life is full of peaks and valleys, and I want to explore them all. Steven over at My Life Outdoors asked his readers to nominate the top outdoor blogs, which was a tidy coincidence: Today I wrapped up a quick-and-dirty analysis of more than 300 sites on my Twitter list of hiking and camping blogs.
 My Top 10 were excellent, but it’s never a surprise to find 10 great examples of anything. I was more amazed at how many great blogs I had to choose from. Back when I started Two-Heel Drive there might’ve been a half-dozen really good hiking/camping blogs. Today there are well over 100. I pared that list down to about 50, then slashed one more time to get the Top 10:
- Hiking in Finland – Hendrik Morkel is the best hiking blogger we’ve got at the moment. He’s smart, opinionated, occasionally infuriating and straight-up crazy about sharing tips for lightweight backpacking.
- Florida Hikes — I guess when you’ve got no mountains and alligators instead of bears, you have to try harder.
- Trail Cooking & the Outdoors — Every backpacker who’s had to scrape the encrusted oatmeal out of their titanium pots is thankful for the advent of Freezerbag Cooking.
- Dirty Gourmet — I checked this site out in depth for the first time. Clean design, great writing and authoritative coverage make Dirty Gourmet a winner.
- Daily Hiker — Still a great mix of news, commentary and gear here.
- Gear Talk with Jason Klass — We should all just travel to Colorado and have Jason teach us how he makes such cool videos.
- Section Hiker — Always a solid performer with a strong mix of tips, gear and trip reports.
- Smoky Mountain Hiking Blog — Evidence that it’s possible to have a site devoted to hiking news.
- The Gearcaster — Another site proving that video brings a whole new dimension to gear blogging.
- Cold Splinters — Cold Splinters’ capacity to tap into totally cool stuff is unmatched.
