The Ridgefold Difference

Every other app plans a hike. You’re planning a trip.

Map apps don't know where you're sleeping, so they can't tell you what tomorrow actually holds. Ridgefold starts from your camps. Same route, now a string of doable days — miles, climb, and hours for each.

Ridgefold's waypoint list split into days between camps — per-day miles, elevation, and hiking time, with campsites marking each day boundary

Built for the nights, not just the miles.

Made for Overnighters

Mark where you'll sleep. We do the math.

Drop a campsite and Ridgefold splits the whole trip into days: per-day miles, elevation, and hiking time between camps. Move a camp and every day recalculates automatically.
