Open map data

Attribution and downloads.

The offline basemap, mapped traverse and permit-zone estimates include data derived from OpenStreetMap. Here is the credit—and the machine-readable data.

Dataset snapshot: August 2026. Eightmile lines added September 2026.

Machine-readable copies

These are the data snapshots distributed with the app builds, and the files the interactive map draws from. The OpenStreetMap-derived database components are offered under ODbL 1.0. Other facts and elevation fields retain the source terms described inside each file.

The site also serves snow.json, NOAA's modeled snow depth for eight places on the route, rewritten once a day from SNODAS, which is US government data in the public domain and asks for this citation.

What these files do—and do not—mean

The traverse is a crowd-sourced mapped line, not a surveyed track. Distance is measured along that line and likely reads shorter than a real walk. Elevation is modeled from terrain data, not surveyed. Permit-zone polygons are useful for general orientation but are not official legal boundary determinations. The Forest Service and Recreation.gov remain the authorities for current rules.
