If you’re looking for a way to pick out a trail to hike, bike, or walk on, then here is the perfect app. A new application from North Face has everything a hiker needs. Whether you’re trying to figure out where you want to go or what to expect when you get there, this app is just for you.
There are more than 300,000 trails to choose from on this app. Images and information about each trail are gathered from EveryTrail.com. You can see trails, hikes, bike routes and other paths. Once you’ve picked what you want to do and you start on your trip, the app tracks your route, distance, speed, and elevation.
According to Mashable.com, you can search by keywords and view user-submitted photos and tips to make sure the trail is what you expect, or maybe it can even get you motivated to take on a more difficult trail when the views are worth it. Soon, the app will include how the weather will be on the trails and even gear recommendations based on the weather forecast.
For hikers this is a great (and free) resource for getting outdoors and getting some exercise.
