Value first
Epicrest turns outdoor data into decisions you can use.
The app is organized around the moments that matter: finding somewhere outside today, identifying what is around you, deciding whether the window looks reasonable, preparing for poor signal, and preserving the story after the outing.
Choose a better outdoor window
Current conditions stay available where supported. Pro adds detailed weather, hourly forecasts, multi-day forecasts, visibility signals, and planning context.
Plan with real place context
Peak and place cards combine routes, roads, boundaries, facilities, weather, alerts, saved status, offline readiness, and directions handoff in one place. Full available live trail and road details remain part of Free where data exists.
Keep the record privately
Log summit dates, place visits, routes, notes, tags, known gain, and photos without turning your outdoor history into a public feed.
Build a list you will actually use
Outdoor Plans keep dream peaks and outdoor outings close to routes, dates, notes, export tools, and the rest of your planning workflow.
Share without rebuilding the story
Social post tools generate polished Epicrest image cards and editable captions from peaks, journal entries, plans items, and AR captures.
Complete outdoor workflow
One app for the before, during, and after of getting outside.
Epicrest stays focused on field value: a clear home command center, fast map discovery, AR identification, detailed peak/place context, forecast planning, offline preparation, private logging, and share-ready outputs.
01 — Today
Get Outside Today
Open Epicrest and see nearby parks, peaks, trails, lakes, campgrounds, and routes — each with a reason to go, like a quick walk, a playground nearby, clear weather, scenic water access, or mapped routes.
02 — Maps
Maps that show real terrain
Explore an Outdoor map plus a 3D Vista view, Satellite, and Topo. Trail outlines and park and public-land boundaries draw right on the map, tap any place or route to focus it, and live weather layers show radar, rain, wind, and clouds.
03 — On the trail
Identify peaks in AR — even offline
Point the camera to label nearby summits with names, elevations, and bearings, capture labeled mountain shots, and jump into maps, Journal, or route context. With Pro, download an offline pack first and the saved context stays with you when signal fades.
04 — Weather
Time it right
See current conditions where supported, then unlock hourly and multi-day forecasts, weather map layers, wind, visibility, precipitation, cloud signals, and the golden-hour window with Pro — so you pick the better day before you commit.
05 — After
Keep a private field journal
Log summit dates, place visits, routes, notes, tags, and known gain, attach photos, pick the cover, and keep media on device or in private iCloud when enabled — never a public feed, and journal photos never touch our servers.
06 — Story
Turn outings into your outdoor story
Pro turns local Journal and Plans data into trends, records, favorite routes, known gain, Planning Health, top places, and a Year in Epicrest recap. Polished alpine post cards with editable captions remain available on Free.
