About Trailspotting
Trailspotting has been on the move since 2007. Created and written by one person, Trailspotting brings an objective voice to reviews of hiking routes, rail trails and other outdoor activities.

Reviews are tailored to give you information needed to choose your next adventure, reach the trailhead and explore firsthand. Trailspotting provides photography and maps that you can use to navigate the trails. You will find links to Trailspotting's trail maps in GPX format and as AllTrails maps; both of which can be used to navigate with a smartphone. You can also open our maps in Google Earth, by expanding the maps embedded in our reviews, and selecting that option from the sidebar.

Our trail reviews specialize in half-day and full-day trips and our geographical coverage is mostly focused around California and New England, with other coverage in the Southwestern US states, Hawaii and beyond. We have also published the first ever New England Rail Trail Map.

Stuart Green
Stuart is the creator and sole contributor of Trailspotting.com. He writes the articles, records the trails, makes the maps and frames the photographs that you will find on this site. Hiking is an activity that his wife Jenna introduced him to, and she continues to be a very gracious and occasional subject within his trail photography. Stuart previously worked in engineering project management, but after thirty years hung up his hard hat for a hiking hat. He is also the author of the Library of Realities:
