    + create start date by setting arrival date at location up the trail
    + choose your start/end locations, perfect for section hikes

    Playing with this now for a SOBO hike coming up in a couple of weeks.. but I don't see a SOBO option (everything south of my starting point is grayed out). For now, I have run the trip in a NOBO fashion.. I'll keep playing..

    It's on the way!

    But it won't be immediately. Right now, you have the AT and PCT. Shortly, I'll be adding the CDT. After that, I can go back and introduce all the southbound versions. There's a surprising amount of data that needs to be generated for each trail. Each direction has its own data set.

    Also, as ChuckT pointed out, you do need to log in to save your plan. You'll want to do that before you make alot of edits.
