About this map and trail data
Where it comes from. Each trail line on this page comes from the source named above: an official park or government dataset, or OpenStreetMap, a community-mapped database. We show the source and the date we retrieved the data. We don't invent or create trail routes ourselves — we process the source lines for display, including by simplifying, joining or trimming them. Source data and processing can both contain errors, and we have not checked these routes on the ground. Grades, distances and times are the source's, not ours.
It may be wrong or out of date. Maps and data can contain errors or gaps. Tracks can be closed, rerouted, washed out or burnt with no notice, and phone GPS positions can be tens of metres out. We don't guarantee that this map, the trail line, the grade or any other detail is complete, correct or current. On-ground signs and directions from rangers always take priority over this map.
Check official alerts before you go. Always check the park authority's current alerts and closures on the day you set out, using the link in the Alerts and conditions section above. Any conditions notice on this page is a convenience summary with a timestamp. It may lag behind the official source, and it can miss things.
You're responsible for your own safety. Plan within your fitness and experience. Carry a backup way to navigate that doesn't depend on your phone, such as a paper map. Take enough water. Tell someone your route and return time. In remote areas, carry a personal locator beacon (PLB). If something doesn't match the map, stop and reassess; don't push on because the map says the track continues.
Downloads and offline packs are a snapshot as at the date we retrieved the data, shown above. Refresh them before each trip.
