Hunter's Mountain started as a notebook. Scribbled trail observations, cabin cooking experiments, half-formed thoughts about why mountains make people calmer. Over time, those notes turned into essays, and the essays found an audience — people who share the same pull toward high places, quiet mornings and the smell of pine smoke.
The site is written and edited by Ben Holloway, a writer based in the northeast United States who has spent the better part of fifteen years visiting, living in and writing about mountain communities. From the Appalachians to the Alps, from weekend cabin trips to month-long retreats, the common thread has always been the same: mountains change the way you think.
Hunter's Mountain covers three areas: mountain travel (where to go, how to get there, what to expect), cabin living (the practical and philosophical sides of life in a small structure surrounded by trees) and the outdoors (trails, wildlife, stargazing and everything that happens when you step outside the door). We're not an gear review site or a booking platform. We're a magazine for people who already know they love the mountains and want to think about them more carefully.
