Hikeset Beta
Hikeset is free for planning trips with your group.
Backpacking is best in small groups. Trails have limited campsites, Leave No Trace principles ask us to keep groups small, and the backcountry experience is better when you're not managing a crowd. Our plans reflect that—generous limits for real trip planning, with higher tiers for guides, scout leaders, and organizers who need more.

Why limits?
Hikeset was built for real trip planning, not spam. Most backpacking groups are 2–5 people, and even larger outings like scout troops rarely exceed 20. The free Hiker plan covers the vast majority of trips without any restrictions on the planning tools themselves—routes, maps, gear lists, meal plans, and food search are all fully available.
The limits on member counts and images exist to keep Hikeset useful and spam-free. If you're a trail guide, scout leader, or outdoor club organizer who genuinely needs higher limits, the Explorer and Guide plans are for you. If you have questions or need something different, get in touch.
