Ratings and reviews

Information at your fingertips! trail updates, trip planning, and itinerary sharing. The perfect app for planning your trip and keeping your family back home updated.

very easy to plan your trip. guides you through the history of the trail very nicely. only complaint is the high offline cost, its understandable, but the basic tier is still high at 30 Cad that adds up to the permit and transport which are already expensive. offline for 15 and perks for 30 would be a better price point IMO. amazing work on the app!

This is the quintessential tool for planning a West Coast Trail adventure. I love that it helps to plan my trip without taking all the adventure out of it. All the extra information on places to stay and park and getting to the Island were invaluable. Fantastic app.
