We are passionate grassroots advocates focused on protecting, restoring, supporting, and sustainably sharing natural landscapes with interested audiences. 

Why?
Because we have been mapping and charting hundreds of miles in some of the most special places for over 20 years. Our adventures have shown the same problems over and over - communities need reliable mapping tools to connect them to the places they want to know about in a sustainable and safe way.

We can help.

Chris Chorney

Chris is an innovator.

Chris Chorney is our resident GIS, data processing, and software development guru. He has a knack for seeing the big picture, which is one reason he holds two patents in spatial processing.

In his off time, Chris loves to see the world- something that was cultivated when he spent two years in Papua New Guinea serving in the Peace Corps. And while he’s able to balance many things simultaneously, this paddle boarding newbie is still working on remaining upright on the water.

Ryan Graig

Ryan is obsessed with details.

A self-titled “map nerd” Ryan Graig is our go-to map master. With a background in trail building and trail system management, he’s used a few mapping apps in his day.  Ryan’s methodical approach to his work turns detailed- and sometimes monotonous- work into exciting challenges. 

Ryan loves mountaineering in the Cascade Mountains almost as much as building mapping tools. And when he’s able to break away, you can find him climbing, skiing, hiking, or playing board games with friends.
