Your plan.
Second set of eyes.

You've done the research, you've made a plan. Trailmark gives your overnight or multi-day hiking plan an independent second look — checking what you've put together for anything that warrants your attention before you go.

Tell us about your planned trip

This is a free beta. We'll review your plan and email the findings within a few days. We're genuinely interested in whether this is useful — so please be as specific as you can, and come back and tell us how the trip went.

1

Route or trail name, planned dates, and number of days.

2

Your primary goal — summit, a specific section, the full route, camping in a particular area. This helps us understand what success looks like for your trip and what's optional if something needs to change.

3

Where you'll start, your expected route each day, where you plan to camp or stay, and how you'll finish. Include expected distance and elevation for each day if you know them.

4

Number of people and ages if relevant. Then your experience across the categories below — be honest, it helps us give you a more useful review.

Day hiking experience
Overnight & multi-day experience
Longest previous overnight or multi-day trip
Consecutive days carrying similar distance and pack weight
Navigation
Experience in this environment
5

Pack weight if known, shelter, sleep system, cooking setup, navigation and communications equipment, and any emergency gear (PLB, first aid). Upload a gear list if you have one, or type a summary below.

6

What you're carrying, where you expect to find water on-trail, how you'll treat it, and your resupply plan if applicable.

7

The part of the plan you're least confident in. Could be a specific water source, a section of the route, fitness for the distances, weather, gear, anything. If you're not sure what you're uncertain about, say that — it's useful information too.

+

Anything that might be relevant — physical considerations, group dynamics, contingency plans, access arrangements, previous research you've done, specific questions you'd like us to address.

This is a free beta. We'll review your plan manually and email the findings. We won't share your details with anyone. No spam, ever.

Important: Trailmark's Trip Check is a planning resource, not a safety guarantee. Trail conditions change. Always verify current closures, track conditions and weather with the relevant park authority before you depart. The decision to proceed with any outdoor trip remains entirely yours. In an emergency, call 000. Always carry a PLB on remote or multi-day trips and leave your intentions with a trusted contact.
