Web Map & Guide to Rocky Mountain National Park

This was one of two projects created for Capstone in GIS Development, or Geog777. The National Park mobile application had to account for the user experience of 1), arriving at the park, 2) getting around while there, and 3) making a submission to the app. I'm partial to Rocky Mountain as I have visited that park since I was really little (maybe even too young walk). Originally, I went with Washington State’s Olympic National Park, but unfortunately, was unable to find enough suitable data layers for the project. Rocky Mountain, by contrast, had many more readily available layers with trails, campsites, and other features that would benefit parkgoers. This app features some interesting and dynamic functionality. Some of the widgets featured here include a locate feature, search tab, and polyline-generating tool called “MyTrails.” With this, the user could trace a line of one of the existing trails from the feature layer, or draw randomly at any point on the map, then give it a name and description.
