  1. Take a photo of a trailhead using your smartphone or other GPS-enabled device. Make sure location services are turned on.
  2. Email it to new@traileditor.org — or use the form above to enter coordinates and upload a photo manually.
  3. Add details so others can find the trailhead too: mark which amenities are available, give it a name, and confirm the location.

Submitting a trailhead through Trail Editor is one of the most direct ways you can support open data and help fellow hikers discover new places to explore. By providing a location, a photo, and amenity details like parking, restrooms, drinking water, and kiosk availability, you create a richer baseline that benefits everyone who relies on trail navigation tools. The form is designed to work smoothly on a smartphone, so you can capture details right from the trailhead itself. If geolocation services are disabled in your browser, simply check your privacy settings and try again. Your contributions feed into an open ecosystem where trail data remains accessible, downloadable, and freely shared under a Creative Commons license, reinforcing the community-driven spirit of civic hacking and open mapping.
