I just did La Plata December 21st using the winter route. Here's my gpx.

The exact path may vary slightly based on how you bash through the woods. For another point of reference you can grab the GPX from my trip report here: https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/triprepo ... m=tripmine

I have one similar to CaptainSuburbia’s but 4 miles longer if you want it.CaptainSuburbia wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 11:32 pmI just did La Plata December 21st using the winter route. Here's my gpx.La Plata 12_21_20 7_03_38 AM(1).gpx

Re: Gpx file for la plata winter route?
OK, a dumb question. I have GPX Viewer Pro on my phone. I went to this site on my phone and downloaded the file. I heard it ping. Then I opened GPX Viewer, and following the instructions, clicked "open files" then "parent directory." I also tried clicking "my documents." It brings up a long list of folders but none have any GPX files (or anything else).CaptainSuburbia wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 11:32 pmI just did La Plata December 21st using the winter route.

I also just tried opening this specific page in GPX Viewer, so I could download the file within the app. So I pressed the three buttons (...) and selected "Download and open." I then entering the URL (above) and my 14ers.com username and password. Then I clicked OK. Instead of opening this page, it opened GPX Viewer's basic menu. Still no file.

Re: Gpx file for la plata winter route?
Thanks Will, I'll try GAIA. But I really hate modern technology. I'm a tech dinosour as it is, and it's a miracle I can surf the web and do emails. And this phone stuff, and apps, drives me nuts. ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif)

Re: Gpx file for la plata winter route?
Well, I looked at the GPXViewer app just now and it loaded. Took a day or longer, but the file is there. And my phone is new with gobs of available space. Nice to have that winter route.
