Top 50 Cal State Parks iPhone App
The California State Park Foundation, in partnership with EveryTrail has created a free iPhone app with detailed information and trail guides for more that 45 of California’s most popular state parks. Combined, these parks draw tens of millions of visitors every year.
I was honored to be one of a dozen EveryTrail members asked to help put together a few of the guides, including Crystal Cove State Park, Huntington State Beach, Doheny State Beach, San Onofre State Beach, and South Carlsbad State Beach. Do you see a theme here? After spending much of 2010 tackling increasingly tougher trails, I thought I’d balance things out with some easier ones.
The great thing about the app? It gives you detailed info on each of the parks, with guides to some of the best hikes, walks and other activities. It also lets you see hikes shared by others from the EveryTrail community, as well as track and share your own hike! And then of course, there’s the price — free! Definitely worth a download.
Hey Jeff, How are you? Do you know where I can get a trail map for the Sitton Peak trail and others in that area? Thanks!
Hi Leslie, and welcome to SoCal Hiker!
You can find a trail map linked on our Sitton Peak trail guide.
And you’ll find all our guides on the “Find a Trail” page in the top navigation menu.
Hey, really great blog post… I’ve enjoyed reading through your blog because of the great style and energy. I actually work for the CheapOair travel blog. If you’re interested, we would love to have you on as a guest blogger. Please send me an e-mail: gchristodoulou(at)cheapoair(dot)com, and I can give you more information. Looking forward to hearing from you.
This is an awesome App, thanks for turning me on to it. It has come in handy in our current political state. Keep up the good work Jeff!
Thanks for dropping by, John! Yeah, that’s a great point. I sure I hope they get their act together and start reopening our National Parks.
This ap seems to no longer be available. The Apple Store says it is not available in the United States. And I had a tech from Apple try outside of the U.S. And it also said it was not available. Would love to get it, especially since it is still being advertised. Any suggestions?
Stacie, thanks for letting me know that the app is no longer available. That’s a bummer! In fact, I checked for the Everytrail app and it’s no longer in the store, either.
I’ll do some digging to see if I can find out if the app has been abandoned, but meanwhile, you can view the trips on the Everytrail website here: http://www.everytrail.com/partner/calparks
