    MyHikes - share, track, and plan hikes!

    Quick update: new feature added for users with accounts - you can now track your position on any trail by using just your browser. Currently working on trail creation, with GPS data, from just the browser as well!

    MyHikes - share, track, and plan hikes!

    I would love to, but I have a lot of limitations: Cost - apple store ~$100/year, Android app store is a one time fee < $50 I think.. and I would also need to buy my own Mac to build the iPhone app -- I can't use my work machine, otherwise my work could technically own my products. So throw in...

    MyHikes - share, track, and plan hikes!

    Thanks a lot for the suggestion and I've actually been working on that feature, but it's on the back burner for the moment. Since I started promoting the site, I started fixing up more bugs and trying to cover my bases... BUT I should have that feature ready before the Spring. Edit: I was...

    Oh yeah that's great idea. I'll think about building in support to add in hut/shelter locations, thanks a lot!

    MyHikes - share, track, and plan hikes!

    Yeah neither am I unfortunately. At least according to the dispersed camping rules, it doesn't rule out camping along that trail and there may be a sketchy designated site on the trail already.

    Yep that's a really handy page for the Whites. I should add additional links to the Parks page for subsequent dispersed camping info.. site link and map link are nice, but quick links to things like that one could be really helpful too. Thanks for the help and feedback, it's much appreciated!

    MyHikes - share, track, and plan hikes!

    Yep I totally agree. I work with the guy that added this trail and he only camps off of public trails that allow camping. He may mean something different by 'bootleg' than what others may think. I'll update this comment as well because it looks like you can camp off of the Livermore trail based...

    - Thanks for the reply, and yes Im the admin. I'll update the comment to discourage camping within 200 feet of the cliff. I completely understand the concern. And thank you for pointing out that this went up Mt. Willard! Trail info updated... The goal is to point out backcountry sites and...

    MyHikes - share, track, and plan hikes!

    I've never signed up for AllTrails mainly because I believe trail data should be open and free. Most of their features require an account to even view trail data - which for most people is fine. I know most people use AllTrails - 55k trails vs. my 146... but I'm trying to build a community who...
