Write a City Description

City pages tend to be more general than hike pages, but providing more specific details will give readers a better idea of whether this is a place they want to visit. These pages will tell you where the area is, what it's known for, and what kinds of things you could expect to see on a hike here.

First, read the General Guidelines for writing descriptions. Then, check out the tips below to decide what to include in each segment.

Overview

Give the reader a short description of what makes this city great for hiking. Include:

• Activities/sports the area is known for
• What the scenery's like
• One or two specifics about the biggest draws of the place
• Avoid writing about non-hiking related tourism, like local restaurants or urban sightseeing.

Example

Sacramento, California
