No Virginia hikes - UNACCEPTABLE! I'll have my dad fill in some great ones so we can go ahead and fix that, he's a bit of an expert and can help out. Love this!

Hey everyone! Wow, this went straight to the top.
I discovered this site a while ago before Product Hunt was a thing. I realized it hadn't been submitted so I gave it a shot.
I don't know the creator personally but he's https://twitter.com/_zaknelson on twitter. Maybe we can get him in here to talk about hike.io.
@nbrempel I just invited him. So glad you posted the site. It really is amazing. I could see adding hikes as you travel - especially in more remote locations. Super cool. THANK YOU for sharing!
Love the fact that the founders decided to open source it. Great execution. I certainly plan to add couple of hikes from my side.

Nice concept. FWIW I'd focus on one area / region and cover it well. Much like how Ryan grew the PH community.
I love this! I've been waiting for something with more visual elements, more like a digital guidebook. Everytrail just hasn't been scratching that itch for me. Looks really nice, just need more Canadian destinations. There are some epic hikes in Banff, Kananaskis, and Jasper national parks.
@levelsio Think the main thing that makes it feel snappy is Angular - navigating to another page just has to download the new resources it needs for that page (json + images). I also try to push as much content down the initial request as possible (I did a writeup of that here: https://medium.com/@_zaknelson/m...). And of course, the standard stuff - minifying source and images, gzip, cdn, caching, etc.
