One Park. Two apps in one.
On the drive up it plans the trip — guides, weather ahead, a room for the night. The moment you cross the Blue Line it becomes a field instrument — offline maps, a voice calling the turns, live conditions, the trail under your feet. Same app. It knows where you are.
Requires iPhone · iOS 15 or later · Free
The app is still in beta. Joining installs it free through Apple’s TestFlight app, and new builds arrive on your phone as we ship them.
It knows when you cross the line.
Every trail, peak, lake and lean-to — with the live layer no trail app carries — on the trail with you, working after the signal drops.
What it does that nothing else does.
The signal dies. The map doesn't.
One tap before the bars disappear and the whole catalog stores on the device — every trail line, peak, water, lean-to and parking area, plus downloadable base maps by region. With zero bars the app opens straight to an offline map.
Whiteface in 3D, saved for offline. The Park's dead zones are the point, not an edge case.

Spoken turn-by-turn through the iPhone's native voice — “Come alongside Great Sacandaga Lake. Reach the beach.” Named landmarks called out ahead and behind, fully offline, speaking even with the ringer silenced.
Split a long trail into day-size sections and the elevation profile, book time and miles-left re-scope to the leg you're actually hiking.

Rain radar drops onto the live map — the system sweeping in from the west, your trail drawn in green underneath it. Summit forecasts read the elevation you're going to, not the valley you parked in, and a daylight margin follows you down.
Your tally keeps itself: check-ins, the 46, traveled miles, summit feet — a personal register, free.

The Approach, then the Field.
Outside the Blue Line it’s a planner. Inside, an instrument. The plates below are real captures, cycling through each character’s screens.
Every reason it earns the Home Screen.
Against the trail app. Against the tourism sites.
AllTrails is very good at trails, everywhere. ROOST’s sites are very good at marketing the regions that fund them. We’re the only one whose entire job is the Park — every trail and every business, online and offline, planning and field.

“You’ve crossed the Blue Line.”
Turn on the greeting and the app quietly welcomes you the moment you enter the Park — then gets to work. Ask Siri to check you in. Glance at Marcy’s summit weather from the Home Screen. Watch the miles tick down on the Dynamic Island. This is what a field guide built only for the Adirondacks feels like.
The app is built for iPhone today. Leave your email and we’ll tell you the moment an Android version is ready — no spam, just the one note.
