What are your "go-to" websites for planning hikes?

I know I definitely have my favorites, and would really appreciate hearing from other hikers about theirs. Here's my list, which is usually supplemented with direct visits to State Forest, National Forest, or BLM sites to check on current trail conditions.

    I use the ProTrails and Alltrails quite a bit. I also like to go to city specific tribes/subreddits and search for hiking spots. For close to home my go to is actually a book instead of a website. 60 Hikes in 60 miles of "your town". I have a couple from different cities I have lived in. Great little resource.

      Much agreed on the 60 Hikes series! My copy for Portland is beat up, and I've had the chance to meet the author a couple of times and get a few tips that never made it to print. A bunch of my other hiking books are older ones I've picked up at garage sales (1960's-1970's), and I've often found that some of the trails in those books that have stopped being maintained over the years are some of the most fun to traverse :)

    Thanks for these. Unfortunately I can't contribute any.
