The Trail Card

Used across The Hikers when you connect with people and plan hikes, the card sums up where and how you hike, your whys and your history. It blends with a watercolor drawing we make of you and your kit.

Use Trail Cards to see how your group stacks up

Trail Cards line up next to your friends', or next to people you do not yet know, when you plan a hike on The Hikers. We also analyze the party in the trip lobby and give you a story about the group heading out, sometimes useful, sometimes hilarious.

Going on a guided trip? Hand them your Trail Card

Your card is only the tip of the iceberg, built on the data your character at The Hikers holds. Give professional guides and companies your experience, preferences and history, at a glance and in detail, and help them put together a backcountry group with the best chance of success.

Private first, and public only when that helps you

This is a planning tool for your own hiking first, alone or with a group, and nothing here is public until you make it so. Open it up when that helps, say to be found by people looking for somebody to hike with, and then pick what a visitor sees: your stats, your badges, your card.
