CDT Hiker: Guthook's Guide is a 5-part smartphone guide for your hike on the Continental Divide Trail. The CDT New Mexico app covers the 809.0-mile official CDT route in New Mexico from the U.S./Mexico Border to the Colorado border. It also includes these alternate routes: (1) Columbus Gila, (2) Walnut Creek, (3) Gila River, (4) Pie Town Road Walk Alternate, (5) Cebolla, (6) Bonita Zuni, (7) Mt. Taylor Summit, and (8) Ghost Ranch.

The app has been built in partnership with Jerry Brown of Bear Creek Survey Service. Each waypoint in the Bear Creek map books is plotted and described in the CDT Hiker: Guthook's Guide apps.

Guthook's Guide use a combination of your phone's GPS, downloaded topo maps, and the Google Maps interface to accurately locate your position on the trail. No phone service? Not a problem -- your phone's GPS pinpoints your location on top of topo maps downloaded as part of the app.

A bright red line indicates the location of the official CDT on the map. Alternate routes are indicated in blue. Waypoints of interest to the hiker are plotted on the map. Tapping on any trail displays trail information, including trail name, distance, and how far away you are from that point.

The elevation profile shows trail distance vs elevation and plots your current location on the trail. Each waypoint is plotted on the profile. Each waypoints is clickable, opening to the waypoint's detail page.

The guidebook lists every waypoint in order by distance along the trail.

Each waypoint includes a detail page, providing further details about that particular waypoint. Details include the waypoint's mileage point and elevation, the Bear Creek waypoint ID, photographs of many of the waypoints, distance to the next water source, a Trail Register where you may post comments and read other users' comments, and other details that will help you during your hike, and help you plan your hike.
