Strava supports a wide range of activities, ranging from running to yoga and much more. One category that has been rising in popularity is hiking, as the company’s Year In Sport report found a 5.8 times increase in hiking clubs. To accommodate that growth, Strava is rolling out a bevy of new features to enhance your next hiking trip.

Strava has announced that it’s pushing out a new update made for hiking fans. The update is designed to touch every part of the experience, including discovery and route planning, real-time tracking and navigation, and social sharing.

According to Strava, these features will be available to all members at no extra cost. However, some of the tools will be exclusive to subscribers. Most of the features are available right now, with Map style improvements expected to roll out later this summer.
