If you attempt to hike on your own, please bear in mind that the maps offered here are not as accurate and most importantly, they are not guaranteed that they will function in your phone or tablet while you are hiking. This is especially so in the poor or no reception areas, as in the depths of a gorge or under heavy tree foliage. Carrying a printed version of the route map while hiking, as well as a compass; have the area offline maps downloaded and spare batteries for your phone are all of critical importance. Being prepared can be a matter of safety, or even survival.
