    Watched this video when it was 1st released little over a year ago, and put it on the "to do" list. Last weekend my wife and I day hiked the mirror lake/T,D&H trail and we were also blown away by the crystal clear 360 view of not only Hood, but also Adams, Rainier, St Helens and Jefferson. That rock slide area was way more sketchy than it looked , but worth the scramble. Also had OnX in my pocket as well and wont go without it. Thank you for the inspiration for what was an incredible day.

      @@chrisz.9974 Yes. I’ve used OnX Hunt for backpacking many times…but there are now some features in Backcountry that Hunt doesn’t have (the layers in Backcountry seem to lend themselves to hiking, discovering trails rather than hunting…it just seems more purpose built). But not including distances from one trail junction to another seems like a big miss (especially if they already have it in their other product). I’m assuming they’ll add it at some point in their product roadmap, so I’m not too worried. For now I’ll just use a combo of both.

It also has some trails around my area that dont show up on alltrails and gaia. And i wish that when i download the map for offline that i could download a more zoomed in view of the map - they give you 5 miles, 10 or 15 miles, and something bigger not sure the distance. I also have a samsung s3 frontier watch and it would be nicw if this could be downloaded onto that to use too so i dont have to pull my phone out all thw time. I also dont have alot of waypoints or viewpoints which im sure has something to do with not alot of people using this in my area vs gaia or alltrails.
    Hopefullu in the next few years some of it changes.

    I had thoughts about the Timberline Trail around Hood, but the high snow year and huge blowdown section scared me off. The PCT re-route sounds pretty do-able. What did you think of the conditions?

      I did it in 2016 when we had to rappel into Elliot canyon. The trail is magical. Just plan extra days!

      You should do it. I just did that 4 days ago even conquered the closing sections

      FYI best to circumnavigate the Timberline lines around Mt Hood 41 miles 1st week of July to the end of September. And also is best to stay for 2 or 3 nights depending how fit you are because is the # one if not the hardest hiking places in Oregon. Take my words for it I do this trails 4 to 5 times every summer.

      @@liamboggs Thanks. I planned a few short backpack trips instead. I've never been to Lake Chelan and the North Cascades.

    How hard is the app to learn to navigate and work through. I was just starting to learn Gaia, is it worth the switch if I am a weekend warrior?

    I want that app! Sure would come in handy as I begin the 50 state highpoints! Great vid, Dan!
