Walkup is an application that help the residents of British Columbia to explore the places near them. With this app, people can go out for hiking, swimming, fishing and different activities. For newcomers to British Columbia who don't know various places to explore, this is an app for them. Also, this app provides an opportunity to people to connect with each other and form guides to travel and explore different places. Additionally, people can also book or rent gears with this app from different people registered on WalkUp, so that they can have all the necessary tools available for the activities.
