Hiking should be a fun and adventurous experience, but the research process can often be challenging and time consuming. We already spend so much time looking at screens during the week for work, so getting outdoors for a hike should be an easy and seamless process. Happy Hiker exists to simplify the hiking experience by creating an all in one platform that provides comprehensive trail information.
Problem
Hiking can be a great way to unplug, get outside, and exercise. It’s often challenging to find information on specific trails, how to prepare properly, and how to get there. There are seemingly little options on finding out all of this information in one place.
Solution
Happy Hiker is an app that simplifies the hiking experience in a one-stop platform by providing comprehensive trail information to its users. It encourages and allows hikers to spend more time on the trail and less time online by giving them all the tools necessary to be prepared.
