Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
John Denver, Rocky Mountain High
The question is this: In his steps of quiet solitude, did he carry an iPhone to help him find the way? Probably not, since Chimani didn't release their app for the Rocky Mountain National Park until early this month. But if you've got an iPhone and a yearning to technologically traipse any of those 265,770 acres that make up this huge Colorado park, Chimani will be happy to oblige you for a mere $4.99.
Says the company news
release, "The Rocky Mountain app is a great resource for first time visitors looking to explore the high alpine beauty of Trail Ridge Road, or seasoned visitors heading off for their favorite backcountry hike around Longs Peak. " says Chimani President, Kerry Gallivan. “The app is full of all the essential details and ready to go where you are.”
"All the essential details" include a map interface that is custom-made, GPS-enabled, includes every hiking trail in the park, and displays interactive points of interest. Unlike other apps for the park, the map works without the need for a cell phone or data connection and is specifically designed for the mobile app platform. Since the park has 359 miles of trails (not to mention 150 lakes and 450 miles of streams) there's a lot of data stuffed into this one little app.
The new app also features a section dedicated to the core Leave No Trace principles of outdoor ethics. "I couldn’t think of a more appropriate Chimani national park app to launch this exciting new partnership with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics." says Chimani's Gallivan.
