About Trail Amigo

Trail Amigo is built by an independent Canadian developer in Chestermere, Alberta. Our focus is Canadian trails — Banff, Kananaskis, the Bow Valley, the Coast Mountains, the Laurentians, the East Coast. We rely on Canadian and open data wherever we can: Parks Canada, provincial park trail networks, OpenStreetMap contributors who hiked the route. Made in Canada 🍁

Map data

• OpenStreetMap contributors — base geometry, paths, roads, place names. Used under the Open Database License (ODbL). See openstreetmap.org/copyright.
• MapTiler — basemap styling, vector tile hosting, search. See maptiler.com/copyright.

Trail data

• Parks Canada open data — federal park trail networks.
• Province-of-Alberta open data — Kananaskis Country, provincial parks.
• OpenStreetMap contributors — community-mapped trail geometry where official datasets don't cover.
• trail-data-processor — our open-source pipeline for geometry simplification, naming heuristics, and elevation profiles.

Elevation profiles

[Elevation data source attribution coming soon — pending confirmation of which provider we use in production.]

Weather

• Open-Meteo — current conditions and forecasts. See open-meteo.com.

Photos

• User-contributed photos remain owned by the people who uploaded them.
• Photos shown on the homepage and marketing pages were taken by the developer on Canadian trails. © Trail Amigo.

Software

Built with Go, React, TypeScript, MapLibre GL, Tailwind, and a long list of open-source libraries. See package.json and go.mod in our repository for the full set.

Thanks

To every OpenStreetMap volunteer who mapped a trail by walking it with a GPS. This app could not exist without you. 🍁
