Local experts show you the highlights, challenging features, and insights you need to plan a great day on the trails.

• Find over 74,000 miles of trail to hike with your crew.
• New trails are constantly added to our incredibly detailed hiking database.
• Your exact location is shown on the trail.
• Downloaded trails work offline for when you’re off the grid. (No cell reception required!)
• Enjoy high-resolution photos and detailed topographical trail maps.

By using GPS, we can show your location on trails and vertical profiles. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and reviews

Downloaded the app after a friend sent me a link to a trail we're considering. Perhaps I am doing something wrong in the app navigation, but once I choose a trail from the trail list I cannot figure out how to get back to the list. I like to find new trails and review options before heading out for the day. I have to close and reopen after I read about every trail. Really annoying. Also, the search feature doesn't have the ability to sort by distance, difficulty, etc. Pointless. Deleting.

This app could be SO much better. Unlike on the website, there is no ability to filter trails. In addition, there is no "legend" so you are left to decide if something is a hiking trail or a ski run. There is no ability to select trail segments & add them together to construct a different route with ascent/descent/length, etc. I like how snappy the map painting is. I'm hard pressed to think what else I like. I'm hoping this improves A LOT before I need it. For now, I've got multiple apps.

This app is good because it has features such as offline maps that are usually found only in the premium version of other similar apps. But it lacks a few features that will make it much better. First, the search function is very poor. It is difficult to gwt what you are looking for, and some trails seem to be entirely missing from this app. Second, the app forces you to download a region offline before you can do anything. Also should implement directions to trailheads.
