A hike starts with people
Meet hiking buddies, not just find trails.
A trail map tells you where to go. SportsPal helps you find people to go with. Browse hikes nearby, see who plans to join, and choose a group that feels right for your day. Then keep the route and conversation with the hike.
01 / Discover
Find hiking groups near you.
Explore local group hikes in SportsPal and narrow your search by activity, date, and distance. Open a hike to see the meeting point, the people joining, and the plan before you commit.
Explore local activities
02 / Know the hike
See the route before you join.
Choose a hike for the day you actually want: look at the route, distance, elevation, difficulty, and activity weather. When a hike includes a GPX or drawn route, you can preview it and save a supported route for offline GPS guidance before heading out.
Understand the effort
Check available distance, elevation, and difficulty details before deciding if the hike suits you.
Know the conditions
See the activity weather and meeting details in the same place as the hike.
Keep the route close
Save supported routes before leaving signal behind. Bring a separate navigation and safety backup for the conditions.
03 / Go together
Meet the people behind the plan.
See who is joining, introduce yourself in the group chat, and agree on the details before you reach the trailhead. Hiking partners become easier to meet when the people, route, and conversation live together.
Your trail, your group
Create your own group hike.
Have a route in mind? Set up a hiking activity, add the location and details, include a GPX or drawn route when useful, and invite others to join. SportsPal gives the group one place to find the plan and stay in touch.
