A personal project

From planning my hikes
to building the tool.

I’m Dominik. I started TrailAhead because I wanted to plan my multi-day hikes in one place: daily stages, water stops, overnight stays and detours.

On my blog, I write about trails I’ve walked, equipment and what I’ve learned along the way.

A few practical questions.

Do I need my own GPX file?

No. You can add a trail from the library to your collection, or import your own GPX or KML file.

How does AI help with planning?

Copy the prepared context into your AI app. You can then review its response in TrailAhead before adopting it into your plan. You choose what to keep.

Can I export my plan?

Yes. Export stages as GPX and your trip as a PDF, for navigation or to share with friends and family.

Can I use it without reception?

Planning in the browser needs an internet connection. The mobile app can use saved plans and map data that has already been loaded.
