Accepted evidence

Route-matched proof examples

  • GPS track file or activity link where available

Before payment

Prepare proof that tells the whole route story.

Best evidence: GPX, FIT, or TCX files, trusted activity links, dated trail photos, stamps, permits, or guide confirmation. Photos alone may need supporting context.

Expected review level: evidence_reviewed. Most reviews target 2–3 working days after payment and private proof upload.

Trail proof checklist

  • GPS track file or activity link where available
  • Photos at recognisable route landmarks
  • Date range and completion narrative

Distance and route variants are reviewed conservatively. Public pages never publish raw GPS points or private proof files.

Private review layer

Your proof is not your public profile.

Reviewers may see

GPS and activity files, uploaded photos, permits, stamps, guide confirmations, completion narrative, and clarification replies.

The public may see

Certificate status, trail, privacy-controlled display name, dates, verification level, issue date, fingerprint, and registry signature state.

Privacy for hikers

Supported route variants

Accepted itineraries range from approximately 45 km to 47 km. The certificate must identify the completed variant or section and any transport links.

Key route sequence: China Beach - Bear Beach - Sombrio Beach - Botanical Beach.
