I have been hiking the Pacific Crest Trail one section at a time over the last 2 years, completing over 1200 miles. Evernote has been an essential tool for both on trail (using iPhone Mobile App) and at home. Evernote helped me to save backpack weight, keep safe, informed, and organized while on the trail. For details how I use Evernote visit:

Are you using a tool to track your routes/covered miles with a GPS device?

Awesome blog post, thanks for sharing! Your technique for using evernote to plan your hikes is very similar to mine. I usually don't carry my iphone with me but I might start, especially to have things like wildflower identification and mountain beta along.

Another good outdoors iPhone app is iBird Explorer.
