Thousands of hams have already hiked these trails and shared what they found. SOTA Planner puts that community knowledge to work — so you can plan any activation, anywhere, even if you've never been there before.
Routes, trailheads, and real-world hiking times contributed by hams who've already activated these summits — preloaded for thousands of peaks. No research required.
Drive time + hiking time + radio time = one number. Know exactly what a summit requires — even one you've never visited — before you commit to the day.
Traveling somewhere new? Search summits near any location — a destination city, a vacation spot — and instantly see what the community knows about each hike.
Generate a public invite page for guests — timeline, map, driving directions, and location sharing. No login required.
Log in with your SOTA callsign. Your planning groups are private to you and your invited partners.

Community routes, trailheads, real hiking times, and drive estimates are preloaded — so you can compare summits and pick what fits your schedule.
Schedule the activation, share the invite link with your hiking partners, and go chase those points.
