"I want to thank you again for creating this Trip Reports website! We're using the trip planner every day at the moment to plan all our trips for the summer and it is so so useful. Also not sure if its a new feature for this year or if I just missed it previously, but the ability to export the trip plans to PDF and to a spreadsheet has been such a huge timesaver for us!"

What others are saying
Love Trip Reports! No better selection of detailed reports on the internet and it continues to grow. Proud to be a contributor!
Love the trip report inventory. It's what got me on the site, and it's what'll keep me there. Also really appreciate the email newsletter that alerts subscribers to new trip reports. It's a great platform that's been constructed. Looking forward to more reading and contributing in 2024.
I absolutely love the trip planning tool. It has been so helpful to read trip reports other people have done and then use the planning tool to set my route! I am so happy I found your blog, it has been incredibly helpful for planning my trips! 🙂
I just booked my first trip for next spring based on the Trip Reports at Voyageur Tripper. The site resources are amazing and gave me great confidence that we will have a fantastic trip.
The Route Planner is the best. You make getting out and staying out so much easier! Definitely a top shelf information source.
I don't get to go out tripping as much as I would like, but reading about other folks' adventures through trip reports helps get me through my off-season and gives me great ideas for new trips to take.
