The North Face has released a fantastic new trail-finding app for the iPhone, designed to help users find and share the best routes for hiking, skiing and more.

The free app [iTunes link] enables users to search by activity type and distance, proximity (either from your current location using GPS or by zip code) and user ratings. The database of routes is pulled from EveryTrail.com, a platform for swapping trails with fellow enthusiasts.
