Terms of use

Placeholder. This page is a draft and will be rewritten. It isn't legal advice or a final agreement.

HikeDay is a free planning tool. By using it, you agree to use it as a starting point for your own judgment, not a replacement for it.

Forecasts are guidance, not guarantees

Weather in the mountains changes quickly, and forecasts can be wrong. HikeDay samples and scores National Weather Service forecasts, which can introduce differences from the official forecast. Always check the latest forecast and any alerts on weather.gov, and read Trail weather safety before you go.

Your safety is your responsibility

You decide where and when to hike. HikeDay isn't responsible for injury, loss or damage that results from using the site or relying on its information.

No warranty

The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. It may be unavailable, out of date or incomplete at any time, and features may change or be removed without notice.

Data from other sources

Forecasts come from NOAA and the National Weather Service. Place names come from the US Geological Survey and OpenStreetMap contributors, and the basemap from Esri. Their terms and licenses apply to that data; see Data sources.
