They’re one of the most common—and most painful—issues hikers face in the backcountry. One minute you’re cruising along a ridgeline, the next you’re limping toward camp wondering how something so small can hurt so badly.
At Into the Wilderness, we believe blister prevention is a skill every hiker should have. It’s not just about comfort—it can mean the difference between finishing your trip strong or calling it quits early. So let’s break it down: how to prevent them, how to treat them, and how to keep moving confidently through the wild.

Looking to skip the crowds and start your Lakeshore Trail hike in peace?
Into the Wilderness offers exclusive, early-access private boat shuttles on Lake Chelan—only available with our guided hiking adventures or gear rental packages.
This is not public transport. This is a custom, backcountry launch service designed for those who value space, solitude, and a smooth start to their wilderness journey.

At Into the Wilderness, we do things differently. That’s a good thing—but it also means we sometimes need to explain what we are, and what we are not.
This page is here to help you understand why our experience is unlike anything else out there—and why that might be exactly what you’re looking for.
