New Essential Camping Apps @VZWNYMetro

New York is the third most populous state in the U.S. with approximately 19.65 million residents according to the United States Census Bureau, but almost half of that population lives in the 300 bustling square miles of New York City. That leaves tens of thousands of square miles of virtually uninhabited natural landscape to enjoy the great outdoors.

Verizon Wireless, the nation’s largest and most reliable 4G LTE network, wants to encourage New Yorkers to venture outside of the city walls in a camping journey this summer. To make sure you’re well prepared, Verizon has compiled a list of must have apps to take with you, including:

AllTrails
AllTrails is THE app for finding trails nearest you. Browse through 50,000 trail guides (United States & Canada) for outdoor activities including everything from hiking and mountain biking to fly-fishing and snowshoeing.

Camping Trip Planner
