We're writing these in the order most-asked-about first. Email hello@trailsherpa.org with a request and we'll bump it.

• Plan a multi-day trip

  Drag-to-trace the trail, snap to known waypoints, save days, share with the community.

  Writing in progress
• Submit a condition report

  Flag a blowdown, dry spring, washed-out crossing, or other change so the next hiker knows.

  Writing in progress
• Share an itinerary to the community

  Turn your saved plan into a discussion post so other hikers can fork it or weigh in.

  Writing in progress
• Photo locations on the trail map

  How geotagged photos drop pins, the per-photo toggle, and what privacy controls exist.

  Writing in progress
• Community basics

  Subs per trail, 1-level threading, like + save reactions, search syntax, moderation.

What we're tracking

Bugs and limitations we know about. If you hit something not listed here, the contact form below is the fastest route.

• Photo orientation may be off on some HEIC uploads

  Tracking

  HEIC photos are converted to WebP client-side before upload. A handful of older iOS captures lose their EXIF rotation in conversion. Workaround: re-save as JPEG before uploading.

• Loyalsock Trail waypoints still being verified

  Ongoing with ACW

  The LT geometry is canonical (OpenStreetMap + USGS 3DEP), but individual waypoints (campsites, springs, shelters) are being cross-checked with local stewards. If you see something off, submit a condition report and we'll fix the pin.

Send it our way.

Two buttons, two inboxes. Bug reports get fastest triage; feature requests get queued and re-prioritized whenever we revisit the roadmap.

Anything urgent — hello@trailsherpa.org.
