Arizona Trail App Recently Released

September 15, 2015 by Beardoh

AZT App

The long awaited official Arizona Trail App has arrived. Guthook’s Guides/High Sierra Attitude, LLC collaborated with the Arizona Trail association to produce this app for iOS and Android.  The ATA has been working hard to promote the Arizona Trail over the past couple years with a weekend Trail Days celebration, partnerships with local businesses along the AZT, a new map set, and other activities.  We are excited to see the effort that the ATA is putting in as we thoroughly enjoyed our Arizona Trail thru-hike (Check out our Photos and Journal if you’d like to see more)

While we didn’t have this app when we hiked the AZT this past spring, we would have purchased it, had it been available. I like paper maps (my B.S. is in Cartography), and find orienteering with a map and compass enjoyable. That being said, the amount of extra data that is in Guthook’s Guides/High Sierra Attitude, LLC apps, make them worthwhile even beyond the navigational aspect. We’ve used other apps from Guthook and have been impressed with quality/accuracy of information and GPS data for navigation.

Arizona Trail App

    The free app is just a demo for the San Francisco Peaks passage (passage 34). The full app is $9.99, At least for Android.

    Do you know if the AZT app downloads a .gpx file onto the smartphone where it’s installed? I’m wondering if I can access that and upload it into the Gaia app to display on the basemaps. Looked in the folders where I believe the AZT app installs its files, both via the smartphone and via connected PC, and only found .jpg files for the baselayers. Thank you in advance for your response.

      Not sure… You may be able to contact Guthook and they may be able to give some help.

    I cannot find this app anywhere in the iTunes store. Has it been discontinued?
