Beyond the planning

Take the trip
with you.

Keep the map close.

Download supported map areas before you leave. Fresh research and live updates still need a connection.

Follow the road ahead.

Open your route and road guidance in the app. Always check local conditions and posted restrictions.

Find another way to explore.

Compare guided experiences near your trip. Availability and booking are handled by the provider.

Before you head out

A few good
questions.

Can I explore before planning a trip?

Yes. Browse places in Explorer or ask the Planner about an idea. You can start shaping a route when you’re ready.

Does Trailhead work offline?

You can download supported map areas before you leave. Planning, fresh conditions, guided-trip availability, and other online services still need a connection. Check your downloads before heading out.

Does choosing a campground make a reservation?

No. Adding a campground to a route does not reserve a site. Check the operator’s availability, booking requirements, and current access rules.

Can I find guided trips?

Trailhead lets you compare available guided experiences. Commercial options are separate from your route, and booking happens with the provider.

Will the app replace local guidance?

No. Conditions can change after a trip is planned. Check current closures and forecasts, follow posted restrictions, and use your judgment on the ground.
