More details, including an interactive HIGHLANDER map, available soon!

All trails are subject to change based on US Forest Service permits and the decisions of the Organizer. The final route will be published a week before the event.

**If you like to use the phone for navigating and are still thinking of which app to use, we suggest the Gaia app that works also on airplane mode after you import the GPX route (Android, iOS, desktop) of the trail and download the map layer of the entire trail area for use offline (requires Premium membership).
