About — Hikers Challenge

A platform built around progress

We help hikers discover, track, and complete hiking challenges across the country. Whether you're working on the Adirondack 46ers, section-hiking the Appalachian Trail, chasing peaks along the Pacific Crest Trail, or tackling a challenge created by your local hiking club, Hikers Challenge gives you the tools to track your progress, verify your completions, and celebrate your achievements.

The goal is simple: make every hike count toward something bigger — your history, your goals, your community, and your next adventure.

What Hikers Challenge Connects

✓Imported hikes from GPX files, spreadsheets, or manual entry
✓Mountains, trails, and regions matched to your hiking data
✓Challenge progress that updates automatically
✓Insights that explain how your hiking changes over time

How It Works

Upload your hikes, let the system match your progress, and build a record of where you've been and what you've completed.

Upload

Import GPS tracks from your favorite device or app, upload a spreadsheet, or log a trip manually.

Match

We automatically match your hikes to mountains, trails, and challenge targets using spatial analysis.

Track

Your progress updates in real time so you can see milestones, completions, and patterns in one place.

For Organizations

Built for clubs, trail groups, and challenge programs

Hiking clubs, trail organizations, and outdoor groups can create and manage their own challenges on the platform. Set the targets, define the rules, and let your members track their progress — all in one place.

Built by Hikers

Made by people who use it

Hikers Challenge is a product of Trails & Mountains. We build it because we use it. The platform is shaped by real trail experience, a love of the outdoors, and the belief that hiking progress should be easier to track and more rewarding to understand.

This isn't just software — it's a better way to remember where you've been and see where you're headed next.
