Hiking Daily – this is what we do.
Hiking Daily shares the experience, knowledge, and data-backed product reviews that you can only acquire from spending a significant portion of life in the wilderness – 1000+ miles on hiking trails each year gets the job done!
For some reason, when I am out on the trails hiking and running, people like to chat with me. Many ask my about my shoes, outfits, and other gear that I have with me. I am always happy to give a good recommendation. As I mentioned, if you do not hike almost daily, it is very difficult to get a sense of the quality and value of a given product. I have the luxury of discovery time, and sense for important details that can help readers make good decisions – whether that be for hikes to do or gear to try!
When I first moved to Colorado in 2015, I was surprised at how ill-prepared so many hikers are in challenging and sometimes dangerous conditions. I decided that I wanted to launch an educational website to share my knowledge. I read a tonne about hiking, and I do hike almost every day. It is so easy to do that living in Boulder at the edge of the Front Range Mountains. So, I started this website – HikingDaily.com.
My family is dedicated to hiking. I (Matt Varty) review all men’s products, my wife reviews women’s products, and my son reviews all hiking gear for kids. You can trust us because we only recommend the best, and we buy and test all the products we believe in ourselves to keep us comfortable and safe in the mountains.

There is no such thing as too early, too far, too much, or too high! Let’s go hiking!
