Appalachian Trail

Appalachian Trail is the all-in-one app for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.

Thru-hikers, day hikers, volunteers, friends and family, future hikers, or arm-chair hikers and trail enthusiasts will all find something useful.

For Hikers:

• Most up-to-date trail and town data crowdsourced by thousands of hikers. See water reports, snow conditions, stream crossing water levels, bus schedules, restaurant and lodging reviews, and more.

• Any user can add waypoints, photos, comments, update descriptions, and edit any content in the app, in real time. Think Wikipedia!

• Download topo maps, road maps, and satellite images for offline use.

• Navigate using GPS while in Airplane mode. Everything in the app works while offline after the initial data download.

• View elevation profiles and compute distances to locations along the trail.

• Share your location (optional) and see where others are on the trail.

• See a real-time feed of contributions other hikers are making.

• Search the map by name or point type, search the activity feed by hiker name, location, or type of edit.

For Friends and Family:

• Track the location of your hiker on the trail.

For Trail Maintenance Crews and Land Management Agencies:

• See real-time hikers reports of trail damage, blowdowns, and infrastructure maintenance needs (e.g., washed out bridges).

For Future Hikers and Trail Enthusiasts:

• Explore and learn about the trail. See current photos, use the wealth of information and hiker reports to plan your hike and resupply stops.
