MyHikes 17+

MyHikes is a small community-driven app for creating hiking routes or finding new ones to explore. Use MyHikes to track your own hikes to save to your device to upload directly to your MyHikes.org account!

TRACK YOUR HIKE: Use MyHikes' background tracking to create and save your own hikes/trails/tracks in-app. Registered users can upload GPS tracks from the app to their MyHikes.org user account where they can track their stats or request their hike be published for the general public to find and explore. All MyHikes users can save up to 15 GPS tracks in-app. MyHikes Supporters (one-time annual fee) can save an unlimited number of GPS tracks in-app.

EDIT TRACKS: Edit your own created tracks/trails to remove weird data points or segments from the track via the Tracks tab --> tap user-created track --> Edit Route. Tap on a data point to remove it or select a segment for removal.

OFFLINE MAPS: Non-Supporters can download up to 1 free map region for offline use to bring on their hike. Supporters (one-time annual fee) can download as many as they wish.

EXPLORE MODE: Explore 2,900+ guided hikes and 8,300+ miles with Explore Mode in-app or browse off-app on MyHikes.org to find vistas, waterfalls, campsites, loop hikes, universally-accessible or paved trails, and more. Plan your next adventure by using our trail maps, elevation charts, and pictures from the trail. Registered users can leave Trip Reports (reviews) of their hike to track their own stats like mileage and elevation gain and to help other hikers understand current trail conditions. MyHikes' data is focused mostly in the Northeast United States with exceptions like our extensive guides to hiking the Hawaiian Islands of Maui and Kauai!
