Planning on doing some hiking this summer? Youâre in good company. According to a recent study by RunRepeat and partner AllTrails, the number of hikes logged in 2020 was up 171.36 percent compared to 2019. The number of individual hikers over that same time period increased by 134.7 percent. And the number of hikes logged per hiker was up by more than 50 percent in 2020 over the period from 2016 to 2019. Thatâs a lot of boots on the ground!
