- Inspiration for the Work: Lucy Clarke stated that she was inspired to write the book based on her own hiking trip along Norway's Svelle Trail, though her trip wasn't anywhere near as perilous as the one in the story.
- Similarly Named Works:
- The novel shares its name with the 2016 novel The Hike by Drew Magary. Besides both stories heavily featuring a hike in the woods as a central plot element, they're very different books; Magary's The Hike is a Comic Fantasy set in Pennsylvania, while Lucy Clarke's The Hike is a mundane thriller set in Norway.
- There's also another thriller about a hike gone wrong involving four people titled The Hike, written by Susi Holliday and published in 2022, though that one is set in the Swiss Alps and the main characters are two sisters and their husbands, rather than a group of friends.
