If you are on the mountain right now, this page cannot help you. There is no signal out there and nobody monitoring this inbox in real time. For emergencies use a satellite messenger or call 911 when you regain coverage.

Bug reports are most useful with your device, the iOS or watchOS version, and the build number from the bottom of the watch's control page. If something was wrong out on the trail — a water source that was dry, a crossing that wasn't where the app said — that's the most valuable message you can send.
Does it need a signal?
No, and it has no way to use one. Every map tile for the whole loop is compiled into the app before it ships, along with the route and all the annotations. Put the phone in airplane mode at the trailhead and nothing changes.
Does the watch need the phone nearby?
No. The watch app carries its own copy of the map and route and gets its own GPS fix. You can leave the phone in your pack, or off.
Why does it only know one trail?
Because that is the whole idea. Thirty points around this loop are marked and twenty-six carry beta from people who have walked it. That depth is only possible for one route at a time.
How do I get my track out?
The share button on the map exports a standard GPX file to the iOS share sheet, so it can go to Files, email, or any app that reads GPX. Separately, the watch records the hike into Apple Health as a workout with a route attached — if you have Health connected to Strava or similar, it will travel that way too.
Can I use it on a different mountain?
No. It knows this loop and nothing else, and it has no facility for importing another.
What about permits for the east side?
The eastern part of the route crosses Yakama Nation land, open on a limited season with terms set year by year. We deliberately don't publish dates or fees anywhere in the app or on this site, because they go stale and being wrong about that is worse than being silent. Contact Yakama tribal forestry directly and get it from them.
Something in the app is wrong
Tell us. The annotations came out of other people's trip reports, so they carry other people's mistakes, and conditions move. Corrections from anyone who has actually walked it are the fastest way this gets better.
