The last 3 hikes I’ve done don’t exist on AllTrails. No one talks about them. And they’ve all been utterly AMAZING and devoid of any people!

This is the way.

Kinda makes me feel like this:

@killyourfm Wow, that's a large pinecone! Is it really bigger than your head or does it look like that due to perspective?

What's your packing list these days? Do you have a blog post on it? Cheers from Austria

I'm not really an AllTrails fan. I downloaded it quite a while back looking for info on a hiking area when we were out of town.

My suggestions are:

CalTopo / SarTopo
CoMaps

Both apps offer

Ability to access maps when outside of cell service
(CalTopo requires caching the map ahead of time; at one time, it didn't allow all map sources to be cached)
Record a track
Drop a "pin" or marker on the map

CalTopo is more complex. I like the scanned USGS and Forest Service layers.

CoMaps is simpler and uses a version of OpenStreetMap for the map layer

Enjoy your time outdoors!

@thomasb @killyourfm Big fan of caltopo here. For some hikes I've used it to export PDFs and had them printed at very high resolution. Was super cool to have that level of detail in the field.
