Hiking Goal Tracker for iPhone

Track your hiking goal on iPhone. Log each hike, build toward 24 or 52 for the year, and handle weather gaps without a streak reset. Free to download.

You wanted to hike more this year. 24 hikes felt right — two per month, achievable without it taking over your weekends. You started logging in a habit tracker. Summer was easy: six hikes in two months. Then November arrived.

You didn't hike in November. Or December. The streak had broken long before then — any week without a hike reset it. By winter, the tracker showed gaps everywhere, which made the 18 hikes you'd completed feel somehow invisible.

Hiking is seasonal. Trail access, daylight, and weather all vary dramatically by month. A goal of 24 hikes across a year naturally clusters in spring and autumn, with gaps in winter. That's not failure. That's how hiking works.

A hiking tracker should show how many hikes you've completed toward your goal. The slow months don't erase the active ones.

Common targets

12 hikes24 hikes52 hikes

One hike per week reaches 52 in a year. One per month reaches 12. Hiking goals are often seasonal, with more activity in warmer months.

Why hikes completed is a milestone goal

Hiking is inherently irregular. Weather, seasons, and trail access all vary. A goal of 24 hikes in a year is built over 12 months with natural clustering in good weather and gaps in winter. A streak tracker resets on any week without a hike, even when you're on pace for the annual goal.

The problem with streak trackers for hikes completed

Three weeks of rain breaks a hiking streak when you're 12 hikes into a 24-hike goal. The tracker shows a break. The total shows 12 of 24.

What the math looks like

Two hikes per month reaches 24 in a year. Heavy spring months and lighter winter months still add to the same annual count.
