Alternative trails, alerts and more: Washington state recreation app rolling out this spring

A brand new Washington state app for recreation alternatives and trails will debut this spring, the state’s tourism group introduced Wednesday. State of Washington Tourism is growing the app in partnership with Seattle-based firm Dharma Maps and TREAD (Trails, Recreation, Advocacy, and Improvement), a Wenatchee, Wash.-based group that brings collectively out of doors recreationalists with a dedication to “trails for all.” The TREAD Map App is at the moment accessible as a pilot in a area of central Washington and can supply options together with path maps, security alerts, climate data and alternate ideas to crowded trailheads.
