Verified HikesRegistryReal trails deserve records that feel real.
Verified Hikes reviews private completion evidence and issues premium QR-verifiable certificates for long-distance hikes, treks, pilgrimages, and trail achievements.
Upload proof from GPS files, activity links, photos, stamps, permits, or guide confirmation. A reviewer checks the evidence before your signed registry certificate is issued.
Public launch is controlled: waitlist and capacity-limited applications may be enabled before fully open submissions.
Verified Hikes is currently opening verified certificate applications by invitation while we validate review quality, privacy controls, and partner workflows.
Global routes ready for verified records.
A finish can live in memory. A registry record gives it permanence.
Trail achievements are often scattered across activity apps, photographs, stamps, permits, and group records. Verified Hikes brings that evidence into one private review, then issues a certificate designed to be kept and a QR page designed to be checked.
Read our storyA registry record, not a disposable download.
Verified Hikes is built around evidence, clear verification levels, tamper-evident certificate metadata, and calm premium design.
Evidence reviewed
A reviewer checks submitted proof before certificate issue and can request clarification.
QR-verifiable
Every issued certificate gets a permanent verification page and signed metadata.
Private proof
Raw GPS files, photos, permits, and contact details are never public by default.
How verification works
1. Choose your trail
Select a reviewed launch route or request a local trail.
2. Submit proof
Upload GPS/activity files, links, photos, stamps, permits, or confirmation privately.
3. Human review
A reviewer checks the trail, dates, evidence quality, and any clarification.
4. Issue and verify
Receive a premium PDF, then share its permanent QR verification page.
What QR verification shows
The public record shows safe certificate metadata, registry signature status, evidence summary, issuer, and PDF fingerprint. It does not show private GPS files, uploaded photos, permit details, contact details, payment data, or reviewer notes.
Strong evidence tells one consistent trail story.
GPS and activity files
GPX, FIT, TCX, Garmin, Strava, or another dated route record can establish route and timing.
Trail context
Dated photos, stamps, permits, hut bookings, and completion notes can support route variants or gaps.
Partner confirmation
Approved clubs, guides, and events may confirm completion only through a reviewed partner workflow.

Common questions
Is this endorsed by a trail authority?
No, unless explicitly marked Partner Confirmed or Authority Confirmed. Verified Hikes certificates are independent evidence-reviewed records.
What does Verified Hikes not claim?
We do not claim official trail-authority status, race results, permit validity, safety advice, or guaranteed route conditions.
What does the QR page reveal?
It shows safe certificate metadata, status, verification level, PDF fingerprint, and registry signature status. It never shows raw evidence.
Can partners use this for clubs or guided groups?
Yes. Partner tools support claim codes, partner-associated submissions, and controlled partner confirmation levels.
What if my evidence is unclear?
A reviewer may request clarification. A rejection means the available evidence was insufficient for the requested record, not that the hike did not happen. Refund eligibility follows the published refund policy and review state.
How long does review take?
The controlled launch target is 2–3 working days after payment and evidence upload. Complex routes or clarification can take longer.
