You now have a new, comprehensive hike planner that creates your plan dynamically based on your hiking style, terrain, conditioning and other factors. You can find it here:

You will not find anything else like this.

Here are some of the features:
+ create a plan dynamically, not using static information
+ easily create a plan that fits your hiking style
+ create start date by setting arrival date at location up the trail
+ choose your start/end locations, perfect for section hikes
+ include/exclude significant road crossings, shelters, TH's
+ use significant road crossings, shelters, TH's as start/end location
+ add your own notes for each location
+ google map link, weather, data book, elevation profiles for each location
+ fully integrated with your journal without clobbering your old plan

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.
