Guidelines

Plains to Peaks app

The Plains to Peaks guideline app is available for iOS, iPadOS, Android, and desktop users. 

An internet connection will be required both to download the app and the guidelines within, but after the initial setup it will function offline with no limitations. For the parts of your districts with limited cell coverage, the app will check with the server whenever an internet connection is available and a red banner will display to alert you if there was an update pushed while your device was offline.

The app functions as a viewer for your guidelines with no additional setup, but there are several more robust options for users who want customization and additional features. For those who are interested, here are instructions for the favorites feature and the notes feature. 

To access your guidelines from a desktop computer (via web browser) use the following link: Desktop devices
