NEW! Get Driving Directions and Time to Trailhead on Your Smartphone!

The hike previews posted on the Meandering blog and sent to you via e-mail will now contain links to two separate MapQuest maps that will allow you to get turn-by-turn directions and estimated driving time based on current traffic conditions to the trailhead from either:
  1. Your home or other "Current Location"
  2. The carpool meeting place.
Just click on the link to the desired map in the hike preview e-mail and it should open the MapQuest map on your computer.

If you have the free MapQuest app installed on your iPhone or your Android smartphone, simply click on the link to the desired map in the hike preview e-mail to open the MapQuest map on your smartphone, and get the driving directions/driving time..

(If you downloaded the hike preview to your computer, you may have to forward it to yourself, then download it to your phone. You can also open a map on your computer,  click on "SEND" on the top right-hand side of the map and forward it to your phone via e-mail or if you click on "Mobile," via text message.)

Let Dick Jordan know if you have any questions or problems.
