It’s now been just over ten years since Mike Coronella and Joe Mitchell published the guidebook for The Hayduke Trail. Since that time the route has become increasingly popular and each year I get more and more questions about the route since it overlaps with many of my treks. Hence, it seemed time to create my own Hayduke Reference Page with details on the route along with variations, shortcuts, and worth-while diversions.
I’ll keep this page updated with posts of use to Hayduke Hikers. It’s not meant as a complete reference, but just one based on my previous hikes. If something isn’t linked yet, it just means that more information should be coming soon. And, as always, feel free to write me for any specific information as I love chatting about this stuff!

Happy Hayduke-ing!

Jamal,
Thanks so much for all this information! This is an awesome resource.
Happy Trails!
More brilliant additions Jamal, what a great resource! Hope you have another wonderful hike this spring.
Jamal, do you have any video on the Haduke Trail??
Yes and No. Many of the videos for my long hikes cover sections of the Hayduke, but I don’t have a single video dedicated to the HT. I’m currently going back and adding video reference links on the various guide pages to make it easier find corresponding video.
Jamal,
I’ve been watching your videos for weeks, and I’ve been consistently entertained and blown away by how well done they are. So I decide to come to your site and you happen to have everything in extreme detail! You clearly put a lot of effort into this and I just wanted to let you know you are doing a fantastic job. Your hikes are very inspirational. Keep it up!
Thanks,
Daniel
excellent reference and the pix are right on, but now i have more alt routes to examine in 5 days
Thanks! Good luck on your hike!
This Hayduke site looks fantastic Jamal- I will keep coming back to check out new links you have added. Mouthwatering stuff thanks (and great design too)!
Thanks, Brian!
