Pace, summit, and the clock to turn around

Be down before the light goes.

Turnaround estimates the day from distance, elevation, and the pace your group actually walks. The total time is free. $5 unlocks the turnaround card. $15 covers later hikes. Nothing renews.

What the card contains

  • Moving time and total time, with your breaks included.
  • Naismith on the climbs, and Tobler on the grade, so a steep mile is not priced like a flat one.
  • Summit ETA, planned return, and the latest clock that still gets you back before sunset minus a buffer.
  • A headlamp warning when the return misses that window.
  • An optional GPX upload for mile-by-mile gain and loss.

You will see how long the day takes before anyone asks for a card. The turnaround clock stays locked.

Start with the miles

Turnaround is a pace sketch from Naismith and Tobler, not a guide and not a weather report. Leave earlier for storms, a slow group, or a route you do not know. A headlamp does not make a late return safe.
