TrailOff features interactive audio dramas, free to download through a cutting-edge app, that unfold on nature trails. Each original story is written by a compelling author who brings a new and diverse perspective to getting outdoors. The app your phone’s technology to transport you into an augmented reality world that syncs to your movements as you walk a trail. Each story is uniquely crafted for its site, written by incredible local authors who will explode the way you think about taking a walk outside. Created by Swim Pony and the PA Environmental Council, this FREE project aims to diversify the stories we imagine when we think about the environment.

If you’re unable to visit the stories at the actual site, feel free to check out a static version of them on spotify:

Or check out this website with video samples of audio with folks walking the trails in real time:

desire path

A term mostly used by town planners or architects to describe the short-cut paths created by people. So a path around a square ‘green’ will often have a desire path cutting off the corners. Town planners recognise them as an admission that the initial path was put in the wrong place. Called ‘Elephant Paths’ in some countries.
