Build a Weekend Hike Plan (End-to-End)

This is a full TrailNote workflow you can copy for any weekend hike.

1) Create a project

Name it after the area and weekend.

2) Add key markers

• Parking
• Trailhead
• Viewpoints
• Water sources

3) Create the route

Use freehand for trails and directions planning for road segments.

4) Add notes

Put the "remember later" info in descriptions: seasonal closures, fees, and timing.

5) Export GPX

Export routes and markers so you have a backup and can load it onto devices.
