any suggestions?

mapping apps

does anyone have experience with On X Maps?

I’ve used Trimble’s Terrain Pro Navigator in my work for years, but it’s 3 times as expensive now for a single state as On X is for nationwide coverage.

Hikes

hope to hike Athens/Big Fork to Brush Heap vista & Hemmed-In Hollow in next few weeks and camp overnight at both locations before doubling back out

is there any reason NOT to take my 100 lb Pyrenees/Border Collie mix?

and are there any shouldn't miss day hikes between the two?
