Relatively new to hiking and looking for any good long-distance hiking trails in Florida (preferably Central or North-Central FL) I can hit once I’ve got more experience under my belt. I plan on working my way up to eventually hiking the Appalachian but I still have a long way to go. Looking for trails I can use as a stepping stone between more beginner trails and longer-distance endurance trails like the AT. Any suggestions or advice for my journey is heavily appreciated!

Me and my partner has been doing long-distance hikes for a while now, like Haute Route, Alta via 1, etc, and we always missed a place where we could put together all the information and content we produce from our hikes, where we could mix editorial content (photos, videos, text) with interactive elements (maps, chart).

So we've been working on this platform, designed and coded by us, where we have all these features we wish the existing tools would have.

I'd like to share with the hiking community and ask for some feedbacks now. We put a lot of work on it and would love to hear from you if you find it useful or miss anything that would be helpful when planning your next hike.

So I’m looking for an app that will record my hiking trail. It’s on private property so there’s no trail map online. I also want it to record the elevation changes. Is there any app like that?

So this is kinda urgent, I've read about 3 days of Alta via 1 and suddenly remembered I need to return from Refugio Lagazuoi back to the car at lago di Brais. From Google maps I didn't find any way, does anyone know how? Thanks!

Hi,

kind of a noob question. where can I access maps without all the bloatware? or at least a free app?

I filmed this video two years ago and only published this last month when I did one of the most interesting walks at Lysterfield Lake Park which is called "Granite Peak Track". You Can start walking from the Lysterfield Lake Cark Park, across the dam wall and it's finding Tramline track also known as Granite Peak Track.

The walk really starts from a tram trolley cart as seen in the YouTube thumbnail. It's like 6 km walk from that trolley cart to Trig's point also known as Lysterfield Look Out giving you a panoramic view of Melbourne, Port Philip Bay, Mornington Peninsula and the Dandenong Ranges at the one spot.
