Reach hikers, campers, backpackers, and outdoor enthusiasts through one of the Northeast’s leading independent hiking websites.

Mountain-Hiking.com helps thousands of hikers discover trails, improve their outdoor skills, choose better gear, and enjoy the mountains safely. The site focuses primarily on the Catskills, Adirondacks, Hudson Valley, Berkshires, and the wider Northeast, with a readership that actively plans hikes, researches outdoor equipment, and looks for practical, trustworthy trail information.

I work with a limited number of partners each year to ensure every collaboration remains relevant, useful, and valuable to my readers.

If your brand, product, or service would genuinely benefit hikers, I’m happy to discuss a potential partnership.

Website Partnership Opportunities

Existing Article Link Placements

Where editorially appropriate, I may add a relevant reference and link to an existing article on Mountain-Hiking.com. These requests are reviewed individually and are only accepted when the link improves the article and provides value to readers.

Product Reviews

I am happy to consider outdoor gear, hiking products, camping equipment, books, apps, and other relevant products for review.

Please note that acceptance of a product does not guarantee coverage, and I do not promise positive reviews. Editorial independence is essential to maintaining reader trust.

Other Collaborations

I’m also open to discussing other forms of collaboration, including newsletter sponsorships, Instagram partnerships, sponsored hiking resources, seasonal campaigns, giveaways, and custom projects that align with the interests of Mountain-Hiking.com readers.
