How it works
You already post your hikes. We just put them on the map.
You can try step two right now — paste a caption or a location tag and see which spot it resolves to.
01
Post it like you already do
Shoot the hike, post it to Instagram, tag @hikespot. No new app to open, no upload flow, nothing to learn.
02
We work out where it is
Location tag, caption, GPS track if the file has one — we place your post on the right spot and credit you with a link straight back.
03
You get a card back
A ready-to-post card with the route, the climb and the numbers. Your post gets better. The next hiker finds the spot.
