The information on MyHikes (myhikes.org) and the MyHikes app accurately reflects conditions and observations that were made while hiking the trails found on the site. All efforts have been made to provide accurate descriptions of the trails and features of the trails and hikes. However, conditions in the forests and in nature are constantly changing. Many events can alter the descriptions of the hikes provided on MyHikes. Trails often get rerouted, and as such, maps provided on MyHikes may not be accurate or up-to-date.
Anyone using the information provide on MyHikes.org or the MyHikes app does so at their own risk. Hiking, backpacking, and all other outdoor activities are personal choices and require personal responsibility. Hiking and associated trail activities are dangerous and can result in personal injury or loss of life.
Additionally, underlying health problems - known or unknown - may add to your risk while exploring nature. If planning to push your physical ability, like hiking a moderate, hard, or strenuous trail listed on MyHikes and are unsure about your own ability due to health reasons, you should consider consulting with your primary care physician first.
MyHikes (myhikes.org) assumes absolutely no responsibility, including but not limited to personal injury or loss, loss of personal items, property damage, or other harm due to the use of information found on the site or in the MyHikes app.
If you or someone you know is struggling, in distress, or experiencing suicidal thoughts, please know that help is available and you are not alone.
While MyHikes provides outdoor and trail information, our platform is not equipped to handle mental health emergencies or crisis intervention. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please do not embark on high-risk outdoor activities. Reach out immediately to a free, confidential crisis support service or your local emergency services.
If you are in immediate physical danger, call your local emergency number (e.g., 911 in the US/CA, 112 in Europe, or 999 in the UK).
