GET OUTSIDE SAFELY
- Trailhead weather forecasts from NOAA help you know what the weather’s like on trail

FIND A HIKE

- Find hikes near you using your phone’s location, or using WTA’s Hike Finder Map or region filters
- Find hikes based on pass and permit requirements
- Kid-, dog- and wheelchair-friendly trails with dedicated filters for each.

Creating an account with WTA lets you write your own trip reports, save hike information for later, and access it offline, including the driving directions to the trailhead and detailed trail descriptions. Plus, when you have an account, you can:
- File your own trip reports and share the pictures you took on trail
- View and write comments on trip reports

This app motivates me to get out onto new trails. I love supporting WTA. I do wish I could keep track of my completed hikes and/or reports, I don't see that as an option. Also it took me some time to learn how the search feature works. You have to sometimes try different search terms to find exactly what you're looking for, otherwise it will indicate no results for a trail that's actually in here under a different name.

Hey Emily -- Thank you so much for your support and your review. It's great to hear about the added functionality you'd like to see. We're working on some improvements to the hike search right now; keep an eye out for our next release!

This app is so awesome!! It helps me search for a hike based on my needs--shorter, longer, less or more incline, distance from home. I also love that I can save hikes into my "backpack." It's sort of like making a wish list, and I tend to hike more because I want to check off the list! Also, it shows the most recent trip reports which is so helpful for finding out about things like snow levels, road conditions, water options, bugs and bear reports.

this app is wonderful! It could be easier to navigate but this is a really good start! the search feature needs some work as I was looking for a specific trail and even though I searched a few different spellings, nothing came up but when i scrolled through the area's hikes I found it spelled the way I had originally searched for. then I couldn't reset the search to look in a different area; I had to close and re-open. other than that, this is a solid app.
