The MST Guide

The North Carolina Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) is nearly 1200 miles long, connecting Clingman’s Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains to Jockey’s Ridge in the Outer Banks. This is the most comprehensive guide ever developed for the MST, providing unprecedented information and ease of access for day-, section-, and thru-hikers.

Explore other great North Carolina trails, too. The Art Loeb Trail and Foothills Trail have both been added to the app with the most recent update.

NEVER GET LOST

See your location in relation to the trail and know which way to go, even when there are no blazes. Know how far away you are from key waypoints.

UP-TO-DATE MAPS

Thanks to the many volunteers, the MST is developing more every year and is constantly being rerouted. This app is updated with every change, so there is no need to keep track of trail updates. Hikers can view their location in relation to the entire MST, or just see the segment they are currently on.

UNLOCK ACCURATE, USEFUL WAYPOINTS

Everything you need from parking locations for your day hike to camping locations for your thru-hike. Locate water sources that are unlisted in other guides, discover hidden gems that you hadn't known about before, or simply determine your own location. Each waypoint has it's exact location, distance along the trail, and a detailed description (when applicable).

VIRTUAL TRAIL LOGS

Communicate with other hikers through comments on each trail segment or waypoint. Leave behind useful information, ask questions, or leave reviews. Learn from those who have come before you, or use comments to help plan your route.
