0–178Marker posts on trail
We’re improving the trail data.
There are conflicts in the actual length of the hike and in the distances between kilometre markers — reroutes over time, logging activity, new and safer bridges.
To improve the app, we’d love a clean GPX track of your hike: sct@milecheckapp.com.

The developer
Leah Gerber
I thru-hiked the SCT with my dog in July of 2026. I planned the trip with qPAWS maps, guidebooks, routing apps, transport sites and hiker reports. I built the app to keep that information together and available offline.
Trail maintenance
qPAWS maintains the trail and huts.
This app is independent. Donations through the official trail site go directly to qPAWS. The plan when the app goes paid: $9.99 once, with $1 from every sale intended for qPAWS.
