Happy New Year, fellow Outdoor Adventurers! We here at Pathloom had quite an eventful year in 2022, and are very much looking forward to even bigger and better things in 2023!


We thought we’d switch things up a bit for our first post of the New Year, and give you a sneak peek of some of the things we’re most excited about in 2023.

Pathloom BETA is Live!


First and foremost, in case you hadn’t heard from all of our mailing lists, social media posts, reminders on the Blog and who knows where else, OUR BETA IS LIVE! Thousands of users who have signed up for our waitlist are already taking advantage of our database featuring millions of hiking trails and campsites, detailed overlays, and uber-convenient Trip Planning functionality that lets you plan out where you want to go, and save your complete itinerary for when you can actually get out there!


Even if you’re in an area currently getting snow or rain dumped upon you as you read this, and outdoor travel isn’t first and foremost on your mind as a result - what better way to prepare for brighter days ahead? Use this time to use our app while cooped up in the house to plan your dream outdoor adventure trip for when the skies break and the sun comes out!

Keep in mind that our app is still in BETA, and as such there are going to be a few kinks that we still need to iron out. We’re hard at work making this app the best outdoor travel planning experience out there, but it takes a whole heap of time and effort, so please have some patience if you experience any hiccups as you navigate through.


And hey - we could use your help! We’re all in this together to build a better outdoors app for everyone - so if you find an error somewhere, let us know! If you find something that you think we could do better, let us know! We’ll get right to work fixing it, making it right for both you and us for the future!

Our mission is to be your one-stop-shop for all of your outdoor travel planning needs, so we’re going to need your help to get there! Join us in the War Against Too Many Open Browser Tabs To Plan Out An Outdoor Trip!

365 Days Of Hiking Inspiration


Do you follow Pathloom on Instagram? If not, now is the perfect time to fix that! If you do, you may have already seen that for the beginning of the new year we’ve launched a new series we call “365 Days of Hiking Inspiration.” Every day we plan on highlighting one of the best hiking trails in the US, counting down from #365 to #1 on a daily basis. This countdown comes complete with some breathtaking photography of the areas in which you can find these amazing experiences.


We’ve got a ton of trails we’re looking forward to featuring, but we’re always looking for more! If you’d like to submit a trail for consideration, please reach out to us via DM on Instagram or at blog@pathloom.com to let us know about some of your favorites! We’ll be sure to give credit where credit is due, and who knows - you might meet some fellow Pathloom enthusiasts when you get out there this year that never otherwise would have known about your favorite!
