## What is Trail Scout?

Planning a hike that needs a permit? Trail Scout helps you understand which permit applies, when to apply, and what to do next—before a deadline passes.

Choose a destination, trip dates, and group size. Compare permit options, see lottery and release dates, save a trip, schedule local reminders, and open the official permit site when it is time to apply.

PLAN PERMITS WITH CLEAR DATES

- Compare the ways to get each permit.
- See dates to apply, results dates, and confirmation deadlines.
- Filter recommendations by trip dates and group size.
- Save trips and schedule local reminders.
- Keep agency, last-verified date, and official permit links close.

PREPARE FOR THE TRAIL

- Import GPX routes.
- Download offline map coverage.
- Follow routes with foreground guidance.
- Record hikes privately on your device.
- Browse campgrounds near the trailhead.

Trail Scout does not issue permits, reserve spots, or guarantee access. It does not automate bookings or payments. Always confirm current dates, available spots, fees, and rules on the linked official permit site.
