FAROUT (PREVIOUSLY GUTHOOK)
Now available on desktop! You will likely hear most people call it “Guthook,” as it has been known for years. This app is now called FarOut and is a navigation tool for hikers. More hikes are added each year, with most major long-distance hikes already available for purchase. The app itself is free, with each hike sold individually similar to paper maps. The Pacific Crest Trail can be purchased as a bundle or section. I have found Guthook to be invaluable for my long-distance hikes in the Sierra. While it should not be completely relied on, you are able to see where water is available on the trail and read comments left by previous hikers. If you are using the app, please leave comments if there are none within the last week! Help out your fellow hikers.
