Article Critique
I visited the Hiking page in Wikipedia, and found 3 aspects of it that are worth commenting on: the fact that some of the sources that were used are now “dead” sites, the newest citation used is from 2013, and that there is no mention of any of the top hiking trails used today.

Additional information
I believe for this page to be a good source of information it should include a section of top hiking spots in the world. Although there is a reference to the Top 10 Hiking Trails in the US the reference isn’t used to portray those spots. Being able to see different places people like to hike would be a great addition to this page.

Summary
Overall, I would rate this page as “good.” Although the page has a few faults here and there the page provides a great deal of information about hiking in an unbiased way. The only faults I was able to find had to do with references; each that weren’t up to date, or checked to make sure they were still up and running, which in my opinion are minor flaws. Beside the fact that they could add information regarding the top hiking spots in the world this page does a very good job describing hiking and its history.

Side note: I have added a question on the talk section of the hiking page.
