What Other TMB Hikers Are Saying...

Julia, USA

This guide was a must have for us! The tips on how to use our phone as a GPS via the Gaia app while without signal saved us hours of backtracking when we lost the trail…I was so impressed! Additionally, the details about where each campsite was what types of things we could find there was invaluable.
I HIGHLY recommend this package.

Pia, UK

Very accurate. Essential planning tool before you start the TMB. It enables the walker to calculate exact distances on the TMB and avert some disastrous long walks with too much height gain or descent per day.

Julie, USA

Great resources to help me plan my trip. Far more detailed than what I have found elsewhere.

Daniel, Canada

The route and description was well detailed, easy to follow and accurate.
