About this app

Hiking Project is your comprehensive guide to the best hikes near you, wherever you are.

With the thoroughness of a printed map, we offer full GPS route info, elevation profiles, interactive features, photos, and more. Like a guidebook, we suggest the best featured hikes to explore—either near your current location or in an area you search for. 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.
• We’ll sync with your to-do list and check ins on HikingProject.com.

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.

I've tried/used about half a dozen hiking apps over the last decade or so and none of them compare with the reliability and usability of hiking project. Unlike many of the crowd sourced competitors the routes and information on project can be counted on. The elevation change summary and difficulty rating on every route makes it easy to plan ahead based on your capabilities. I suppose the only drawback to the app is that it isn't completely comprehensive in terms of having every single trail.

A great crowd-sourced alternative to All Trails app. Thank you REI. Does seem to have a few minor problems, like not auto-saving satellite imagery for offline use, not having a road layer for better orientation, and not being able to read elevations on contours. Still, a good product that still hasn't quite matured.

How do I save the trails into external SD card instead of phone memory? 2nd, the contour map is not downloaded automatically when I download an area (also when I zoom to 100m, I lost the contours). 3rd, when I updated one area, it decided to update all areas that I've downloaded. Otherwise, very much appreciated all the trail tracks and descriptions.
