Hiking Apps

Hiking apps are a great tool for finding new trails, staying safe on the trail you're already travelling, and connecting with other hiking enthusiasts. The following is a list of a few well-known hiking apps with free versions available. This list is not comprehensive; it is merely a resource and does not constitute endorsement from the City of San Ramon.

  • Google Maps also contains trail maps and hiking maps can be downloaded offline.

  • AllTrails is one of the most well-known hiking apps.   Hikes are searchable based on difficulty, length, elevation gain, route type, and user rating. You can also search hikes based on tags, like trail running, dog-friendly, or wildflowers.

  • Gaia GPS is one of the most popular hiking apps for navigation. In this app, you can find new trails, record your route, and save hike statistics and performance. The app will even tell you the weather forecast and help you find camping near your hike!

  •  Hiking Project provides points of interest (labeled “Gems” in the app). This crowd-sourced hiking app is also great for inspiration and much of the functionality is similar to AllTrails.

  • Outdooractive combines trail planning, community engagement, and detailed topographical maps in one user-friendly platform.
