Hiker AtlasHiker Atlas
Like AllTrails, but worse.
Hey! I'm Colin. This is a free hobby project, so set your expectations accordingly. It's built on open data, mostly OpenStreetMap, and it's open source: see hikeratlas on GitHub, where you can also tell me what's wrong.
Disclosure: this site was artisanally hand-crafted from 2023 to late 2026. Since then, it's 99% LLM-coded. Hopefully it's not slop. It's definitely not enshittified.
Know before you go
See the distance, the elevation profile, the terrain, and the lakes, peaks and waterfalls you'll pass.
A map made for hiking
Trails, contours, shaded relief and aerial imagery. Search for parks, peaks, lakes and trails.
Plan your own route
Click points on the map and Hiker Atlas routes you between them along trails and roads, with the distance, climb and elevation profile.
Take it with you
Download a hike's GPX, get directions to the trailhead, or try the Android app (in preview).
Free, forever
It costs me about $2 a month to run. Want to pay me back? Pick up some litter on your next hike.
Give back to the commons
Hiker Atlas is built on open data, so what you add goes back. Your reviews, photos and tracks are public domain by default, free for anyone to reuse.
