Since 2010

Built for the long way around.

Chimani began with a simple belief: the best time in a national park starts with feeling prepared enough to wander. Since then, millions of explorers have used Chimani to find their way, go farther, and make more of the places that stay with them.

Along the way, Chimani has been named Apple App of the Day and Apple Editors’ Choice, featured in Google Play’s #WeArePlay anniversary campaign, and recognized through countless other awards and media appearances. America250 Founders is a celebration of that journey—and an invitation for 250 people to help build what comes next.

A note from Kerry

Thank you for believing in the road ahead.

When I launched Chimani in 2010, I never imagined it would become a community of millions of people planning meaningful days in America’s parks. I just wanted to make it easier to arrive curious and leave with a better story.

Recognition from Apple has been an honor, but the messages from people who found confidence, wonder, or a new favorite place with Chimani have always meant the most. This membership is an invitation to help shape the next decade—and I’m deeply grateful for every person who chooses to join us.
