Phil Phelan's Hiking Guides

Established in 2012, Phil Phelan’s Hiking Guides is a series of guidebooks that clarifies the entire way trail-data is presented while delivering expert knowledge at a beginner’s pace. My series includes an innovative combination of comprehensive and colorful localized trail maps, simplistic turn-by-turn directions and recommendations, quick answers to need-to-know facts, and has the only fact-based trail-difficulty rating system in existence. Throughout the series, the transfer of knowledge is with an understanding that the reader is fatigued and under a certain amount of stress related to physical exertion and exposure. With that in mind, the comprehensive and in-depth reports are continuously presented in an easily absorbed fashion. As far as positive trail reflection, I, personally, film and map every path in its entirety and use that information to accurately create each new book from scratch. My goal is to adequately aid every hiker – young or wise / novice or expert – in having the most productive outdoor experience imaginable.
