App summary

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.

Love this app, it clearly shows the trail on the map, shows start and end and where it connects in with other trails. This app makes planning a backpacking trip so much easier! It does need more help with trail descriptions and reviews but I use this over any other when planning a trip.

Great the first couple of times I used it, but today something happened where I try to look at my recorded tracks and it flips over to the explore tab but doesn't show my red line track and doesn't zoom in on the area where that hike took place. This was fixed after completely uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but this makes me wonder when it how the app will break the next time. Will it be while I'm on the trail and relying on the app to let me know where I am? Confidence shaken. S23 Ultra

It feels like a very nice app that someone might actually finish one day. Having every trail actually appear on a map is nice, especially for browsing a given area, but it drastically needs better search features beyond just a trail and location names. Either way it's still a lot nicer to use than most other apps I've tried, entirely for the intuitiveness of its map integration.
