Back in 2010, Backpacker Magazine had a feature that is fantastic for my clients and readers that are in a new town or traveling to a new locale. It was a trip search feature that lets you find hiking trails near you by zip code.
EDIT as of 5-25-17, this feature no longer works. Instead, Backpacker, com allows you to search for trips by state. It is only available for some states, however. Check the link here.
For trails in the Chicago area specifically, Backpacker now this this link available here.

Judy,
Thank you for reading and commenting on my blog! I checked the link to Backpacker and they are no longer offering trails by zip code. I edited the post to refer to the current system of checking trails by state.
Thanks for helping me keep the blogposts current!
