Places far beyond peaks
Discover parks, trails and trailheads, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, canyons, viewpoints, beaches, campgrounds, and picnic areas wherever data exists.
Outdoor places app
An outdoor places app for far more than mountains
Epicrest helps you decide where to get outside today across the full range of outdoor places: parks, trails, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, canyons, scenic viewpoints, beaches, campgrounds, and picnic areas. Get Outside Today recommends places by what you actually want to do, the map shows what is around you, and each place card explains why it fits. AR peak identification is a flagship, but it is one chapter, not the whole story.
Outdoor coverage
Epicrest tools for an outdoor places app
Get Outside Today
The free home screen recommends places by intent, from a quick walk to water, scenic, camp, or kid-friendly, and explains why each one fits.
Map with boundaries
An Outdoor map with trail outlines and park and public-land boundaries is free. Tap any place or route to focus it and read the context around it.
Facility facts
Place cards surface amenity signals where available, such as restrooms, parking, water, and likely stroller-friendly access, so you can plan with confidence.
One app for the full range of outdoor places
Epicrest starts from a simple question: where should you get outside today? Instead of treating the outdoors as a single mountain photo, it covers the places people actually visit, from a local park or a lakeside trail to a waterfall, a canyon overlook, a quiet beach, or a campground for the weekend. Coverage depends on where data exists, and the app is honest about that, but the goal is breadth, so a walk near home and a remote trailhead live in the same field tool.
The free Get Outside Today home screen turns that breadth into a short list you can act on. Pick an intent such as quick walk, hike, parks, kids, stroller, dog, water, scenic, camp, picnic, sports, or peaks, and Epicrest suggests places and explains why each one fits, weighing distance, weather, mapped routes, scenic context, amenity signals, and any access alerts it knows about.
See it on the map, then read the place card
Every place sits on an Outdoor map that is free to use, with trail outlines and park and public-land boundaries drawn in so you can see where a place begins and ends. Tap a place or a route to focus it, then open its card for the details that decide a day out. Cards surface facility facts where available, like restrooms, parking, water, and likely stroller-friendly access, alongside scenic context and current conditions where supported. The Vista view is free too, while Satellite, Topo, 3D terrain, and live weather map layers are part of Epicrest Pro.
This is planning and discovery, not turn-by-turn navigation. Weather, route, and place data are aids to help you choose well, not a safety or navigation source. Use current official maps, local guidance, and your own judgment for routing and conditions, and never rely on Epicrest for emergency navigation.
Keep peaks as a flagship, not the whole story
Mountains are not an afterthought here. AR peak identification labels the peaks on the horizon with name, elevation, and distance, and works offline against cached peak data, while the Summit Companion stays a first-class experience. The difference is framing: peaks are one chapter inside a daily companion that just as happily points you at a riverside path, a shaded picnic area, or a sunset viewpoint a few minutes from home.
When a place becomes part of your story, the free Field Journal logs any outdoor place or summit with notes, tags, and routes. It is private by default, and your photos never touch Epicrest servers. Epicrest is publicly available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription that funds an app with no ads or cross-app advertising tracking, and the applicable store shows final local pricing before purchase.
