Got an update, a correction, a question, or a stretch of trail that doesn't match what the map says? That's exactly what this page is for.

Trail corrections are the most useful thing you can send. Hiking America's routes get verified through field reports from hikers who were standing there, and every waypoint in the Gaia layers exists because somebody bothered to say something.

Messages go straight to John. Most get an answer within a day or two.

A lot of what lands here already has an answer sitting on the site. The FAQs cover subscriptions, what's inside the Gaia GPS layers, and how the northern and southern ADT routes differ. Trail Tools handles GPX distance and elevation questions without anybody having to reply to anything.

Hiking America is an independent navigation resource. This site is not authorized by, and has no affiliation with, the American Discovery Trail Society.
