Using the App on the Trail

Cell service and Wi-Fi is often limited along the Oregon Trail. Fortunately, the app is available offline. All you need to do is to download the app before you set out on your Trail adventure. To do this, follow these simple steps:

1. Download and install the app.
2. Search for the National Historic Trail.
3. On thet top of trail landing page, click the sliding button icon next to "Save this park for offline use."

The app's content will then download to your mobile device, allowing you to use the app even when you do not have service.

 

(Note: the new NPS mobile application will be replacing the existing NPS Oregon NHT specific mobile application. We are working to incorporate all of the existing content into the new application. Thank you for your patience.)
