very easy to plan your trip. guides you through the history of the trail very nicely. only complaint is the high offline cost, its understandable, but the basic tier is still high at 30 Cad that adds up to the permit and transport which are already expensive. offline for 15 and perks for 30 would be a better price point IMO. amazing work on the app!
