Wander Trail is reader-supported. This page explains how that works, in plain terms.
We Earn From Qualifying Purchases
Some of the links on this Site are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a qualifying purchase or booking, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This is one of the ways we keep Wander Trail running without relying on intrusive ads.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on this Site. We are also members of affiliate programs with other companies, including trail and outdoor-recreation services such as AllTrails.
What This Does — and Doesn’t — Change
Being an affiliate does not cost you anything extra, and it does not change the price you pay. It also doesn’t change our editorial judgment: we choose which trails to feature and which gear to recommend based on our own criteria, not on commission rates. If a product or service isn’t good, we won’t recommend it just because it has an affiliate program attached.
We do not accept payment in exchange for a guaranteed positive review, and we are not paid by brands to feature specific gear in our Gear Reviews.
Where You’ll See Affiliate Links
- Trail Guides may include a small number of links to trail-related services (such as AllTrails) to help you plan your hike.
- Gear Reviews include affiliate links to products, primarily through the Amazon Associates Program, so you can find and purchase recommended gear.
