Saddleback Trail Co. | App Concept by OODesigns

Three trails out of the barn.

Cedar Knob stands over all three.
Mara walks the ridge. She reads the western sky:
“Sky goes green in the west, we turn back at the creek.”
Choose a trail. Choose a seat. The app holds it. Drag the map sideways to follow each route.

From the app to the rinse station.

A rental and a guided trip go the same way.
The app keeps every step.

Step 1Reserve in the app

Choose the gear or the trail, and the day. The total, permit included, is on the screen before you pay.

Step 2We size and check it

The night before, we fit it to the sizes you gave us and set it out with your name on it.

Step 3Pick up at the barn

From 7 am, show the code in the app. Guided trips meet at the trailhead sign by the barn door.

Step 4Bring it back by 6

Leave it at the rinse station, mud and all. There is no cleaning fee. A late return counts as a half day.
