Why Wild Trails
Not another crowdsourced pin map.
Every route here was walked, timed and photographed before it was published. If a bridge is out, we say so.
Water & shelter
Springs, huts, bivvy spots and the last shop before the ridge — pinned, dated and checked each season.
Offline first
GPX and vector tiles you download at the trailhead. No signal on the col? Doesn't matter.
Graded properly
Difficulty by terrain and exposure, not by distance. A flat 20 km bog is not an easy day.
Seasonal windows
When the snow clears, when the river is fordable, when the ticks arrive. Timing is half the route.
Leave no trace
Fragile sections are deliberately fuzzed. Some places stay wild by staying a little bit hard to find.
Recently added
Six routes worth the early alarm.
One route in your inbox each Friday.
Field notes, conditions and a map you can walk on Saturday. No sponsored gear reviews, ever.
