This is a prompt template to help you create a hiking list for a given region. Just copy the prompt below, fill in your details, and send it to Claude or another LLM to generate a customized hiking guide.
I recommend setting up a Notion database to track your hiking progress:
This creates a living document you can update as you complete each hike, making it easy to record your experiences, track your progress, and remember specific details about each trail.

Use a Notion database to track hiking progress.
