It’s been 15 years since we launched njHiking.com!
15 years old. FIFTEEN! It feels like I was writing the “10 Years” article just a few minutes ago.
Back in the spring of 2009, when we started posting our hike descriptions, photos, and videos, we never imagined how many people would find it helpful.
The site was a long launch time. We started developing concepts and bouncing around ideas in the early 2000s and registered the domain njHiking.com a few years later.
In 2006, we built the first version on our local server and started tracking our hikes. Dig deep enough and you’ll find these not-so-great first articles (some are so short they only contain a hike name, mileage, and date!).
After several site designs and many more hikes, we went live in March 2009. That first month, the site received only a few hundred hits.
Now, 15 years and millions of website visitors, over 4,500 miles hiked, and countless gallons of ice cream and post-hike iced coffee later… here we are.
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to all those who supported HIKING IN New Jersey over the years and we REALLY appreciate all the kind emails and messages we have received.
– Dawn and Tom
