Pocket Trails

The MST Guide

The original, digital guide for North Carolina's Mountains-to-Sea Trail, now FREE for Android and iOS!

The North Carolina Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) is nearly 1200 miles long, connecting Clingmans Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains to Jockeys Ridge in the Outer Banks. We are working to create the most comprehensive guide ever developed for the MST, providing unprecedented information and ease of access for day-, section-, and thru-hikers. With up-to-date maps and extensive trail information, Pocket Trails plans to give MST hikers everything they need to know, both when they need it and in the palm of their hand.

If would like to help develop this trail guide, please contact us. We would love to hear from local trail experts and software developers!

NC Trail Days Trail Guide

This app was a digital guide made just for the NC Trail Days festival in Elkin, NC. It was free and available for both Android and iOS, but was removed as of August 1st, 2023 to make space for other projects.

This app was created so festival-goers could have a native, smartphone-friendly way to browse festival events and find their way around the town of Elkin, NC. Basic information, a list of events, maps for 17 different hiking trails, and a detailed town map are all included. Because this is an annual event, we hope to build on this app every year. We would love provide a similiar service for other festivals and events.

If your event or festival is in need of a guide that incorporates maps, locations, and a schedule, please contact us.
