G.E.T. Community
Discussion Forum and Online Trail Register


JUMP TO: Trail Register Discussion Forum

Thinking of hiking all or part of the Grand Enchantment Trail? Go ahead, shout it from the mountain!

Maybe you're looking for a hiking partner, or perhaps you're simply wondering who else might be out here (besides the musk hog and wild sheep). For that matter, it's quite possible you'd just like to trade notes and check reality with others in the fledgling G.E.T. hiking community. Whatever the case, here you are and we're glad to have you!

There are two ways to communicate and contribute here:

  • Discussion Forum

The GET Discussion Forum is a place to interact with others about the trail. From trip planning and prep, to trail conditions and navigation, to walking the walk, or talking the talk thereafter - as long as it relates to the GET, it's on-topic for the forum and anyone is free to contribute. The forum's membership includes prospective and veteran GET hikers, as well as folks with local knowledge of the route. Those who have gone before are more than happy to answer the questions of those who might like to go.

To join the Discussion Forum, click here.

  • Online Trail Register

If you have hiking plans along the GET, are looking for a trail partner, or if you're a trail angel or have other announcements that would benefit from prominent, long-term display, consider posting them to the Online Trail Register, below. Along with the Discussion Forum, the Register can be a useful way to facilitate further networking - such as by e-mail, phone, or public venue - directly between interested parties.

Just fill out the form at the bottom of this page and we'll add your entry to the Register after reviewing it. Entries will stay on the main page for about a year from original date of posting, or we can remove or edit them per request. Oh, and of course we'll alter your email address [with (at) instead of @] in order to prevent spamming. New register entries are automatically posted to the Discussion Forum as well, which is where the online trail community hangs out.

Even if your plans are only vague and tentative, we encourage you to "sign the register" for the purpose of building momentum within the trail community.
