Goals and target dates
Save any outdoor place as a plan, set a goal and a target date, and turn a loose idea into something you can actually schedule.
Outdoor trip planner
An outdoor trip planner for every place you want to go
Epicrest is an all-outdoor-places companion for iPhone, and Outdoor Plans is where the next trip takes shape. Save a goal and a target date for a park, a lake, a waterfall, a trail, a scenic viewpoint, or a summit, keep your route notes attached, and hold on to the weather window you are watching. Peaks and AR identification are a flagship chapter, not the whole story.
Plan the next trip
Epicrest tools for your outdoor trip planner
Readiness at a glance
Each plan shows a clear signal such as Ready, Needs date, Needs route, Check weather, or Someday, so you know what is set and what is missing.
Routes and notes attached
Keep route context and your own notes on the plan. Full available live trail and road specs, route detail sheets, and map outlines remain free.
Saved weather windows
Hold on to the window you are watching. Current conditions are free where supported; Pro adds detailed multi-day and best weather windows.
Plan trips to any outdoor place, not just peaks
Outdoor Plans works across the full range of places Epicrest covers: local and national or state parks, public lands, trails and trailheads, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and springs, canyons and valleys, scenic viewpoints, beaches, campgrounds, and picnic areas. Save the spot you have been meaning to visit, give it a goal and a target date, and it stops living in your head and starts living on a plan you can return to.
Summits stay first-class here. If your goal is a peak, you get the same plan with elevation context and AR peak identification waiting for the day you go, so the mountain trip sits in the same place as the lake day and the park afternoon.
Read your readiness before you commit
Every plan carries a simple readiness signal, so a long list of intentions becomes a quick scan. Ready means it is set, Needs date or Needs route tells you what is still open, Check weather flags a window worth confirming, and Someday keeps the slow-burn ideas without cluttering the trips you are actually working toward. Readiness is a planning aid, not a safety or navigation source, so always confirm current conditions, access, permits, and your own judgment before heading out.
Catch the better weather window
Good trips often come down to timing. Check current conditions, core wind, daylight, sunrise, and sunset where they are supported for free. Pro adds extended detailed hourly and multi-day forecasts, gusts, visibility, golden hour, best weather windows, and actions that attach a weather window to a plan. Epicrest Pro can create or update an Outdoor offline region up to 50 miles with detailed weather fields where available; Free can read a compatible core weather snapshot already stored in an installed pack. Up to 15 packs can remain installed per device. Treat all of it as planning context rather than a guarantee, and confirm conditions on the ground.
Building and saving plans is free. Pro adds PDF and GPX export so you can take a plan with you, alongside Outdoor offline downloads up to 50 miles. The applicable store shows final local pricing before purchase, and Pro is an optional auto-renewing marketplace subscription.
