About outdoorstime

outdoorstime is a free site about outdoor places in the United States: hot springs, waterfalls, trails and the seasons that shape them. It is made for adults: hikers, road trippers and anyone planning a day outside, who need a clear answer and a source they can check.

How the pages are made

We build every table, tool and printable ourselves from official, open data. Each page names its source and the date the data was checked. Spring temperatures come from the NOAA Thermal Springs List, river flow from USGS stream gauges and weather by month from NOAA climate normals. Trail lengths, fees and seasons come from the agency that manages each place (Forest Service, BLM, National Park Service, state parks), and every page links to it. We do not post photos taken by others and we do not rate places.

Who runs the site

outdoorstime is an independent project, not affiliated with any government agency, run by a small team that builds free reference websites. We do not collect personal data through forms or accounts.
