Can I import my paper hiking log or checklist?

Years of hikes recorded on a paper checklist, in a trail journal, or on the back of a map? Photograph the page and upload the picture — List Hiker reads the dates and peak names off it and turns them into activities you can review before anything is saved.

A few things help it read cleanly:

  • Good, even light — no hard shadow across the page.
  • The whole page in frame, as square-on as you can manage.
  • One photo per page; upload several at once if your log runs long.
  • Printed checklists and tidy handwriting work best. Heavy cursive is harder.

This one is in beta, so it shows its work: you always see exactly what was read, with every row editable, before it becomes part of your record. A misread date or an ambiguous peak name is a quick fix, not a cleanup job.

If a log defeats it entirely, send it to us and we'll teach it that format.
