MyHikes

I stumbled across this app when looking for a new hike as a relatively inexperienced hiker. The directions were so descriptive and clear that it made finding parking, navigating the trail, and knowing what to expect so much easier! There was even a little bonus info about a great view just off the trail that was well worth it. Highly recommend!

I have now used this app a few times. It seems very good and does all the basic things I would want from a hiking app! I think it tends to overstate mileage and altitude gain (and although one can edit a track, I don’t wish to feel the need to edit). So with that one caveat, this app will be my second hiking app (to be used simultaneously with a more high profile and long establish hiking app).

Used this app with no cell service in Rocky Mountain National Park while in the backcountry and tracked accurately for over 6 hours. I downloaded an offline map region before the hike and then got a bit lost along the way as the trails had minimal signage and multiple routes to take. The app displayed all possible routes and I chose the right one each time I got confused - without the app I would’ve been lost.
