How to use the app

This page describes some of the app's features. We'll keep adding to this with more in-depth information as time goes on.

Browse closures by region or by map

Closures in the List view appear in buckets by region. Scroll side to side to reveal all Closures. All Closures are displayed from the Map view. Tap on a pin to open the Closure.

Read through vital closure information, and explore embedded images and PDFs, links to other websites, or access the interactive PCT Closure Map. Note that some assets require you to be online (connected to cellular service or Wi-Fi) to view them.

Navigate interactive PCT Closure Maps

Pan, zoom, and navigate the interactive PCT Closure Maps with detailed topographic basemaps and shapes drawn by PCTA staff to represent closed trail, points of interest, or other map data. You will see points, lines, and polygons of different colors and patterns that are often labeled to describe what the shapes represent.
