A successful hike begins with checking the arrival instructions

Many visitors use mobile and car navigation apps to reach hiking destinations. While these apps work well in urban settings, they don’t always guide visitors correctly when heading to rural or remote outdoor destinations. Incorrect directions may lead drivers along forest roads that are unsuitable or impassable.
