How Routing Works
Hikers Challenge uses a trail network to create routes between trail junctions, destinations, and waypoints.

Routes can be built as:
    •    Out & Back
    •    Point to Point
    •    Loop

As you build your route, distance, elevation gain, estimated time, and itinerary details update automatically.

If no trail connection exists, you can add an Off-Trail Route to connect sections manually.
