- How can I find off-the-beaten-path hiking trails

Sure thing! Here are three different ways to find those hidden hiking gems:

**Ask Locals**: When you’re in a new area, chat with locals at coffee shops or outdoor gear stores. They usually know the best spots that aren’t in the guidebooks.

**Use Hiking Apps**: Check out apps like AllTrails or Komoot. They often have user-generated trails, and you can filter for less popular routes. Plus, you can see reviews and photos from other hikers!
