We are Lindsey, Abby, Lisa, Riley, and Megan, and while in a coding class together, we came up with the idea to create a foraging website that would show users on which hikes they could find certain edible plants. All five of us share a love of nature and wanted to create something that people like us would be excited to use. Hike & Forage Utah is a great resource for hungry foodies who are looking for an adventure! We hope our users enjoy this as much as we did making it.

Home Page
The home page shows users a carousel of stunning images of foliage in nature. Here users can select the image of a specific plant they would like to forage, and then the results of matching hikes are displayed below. Users can also type in their zipcode to see a display of nearby hikes. Within each hike display is a picture from the hike, a brief summary, the difficulty level and distance, and a link to more information on that hike. Once a user selects their preferred hike, the "View Hike" link takes them to more specific information on how to get to that hike.
Plants Page
This page gives detailed information on the plants highlighted on our home page as some of Utah's forageable plants. By clicking on the image of a plants, a modal pops up with a summary of that plant and a link to a recipe that users can cook once they have foraged the plant.
Contact Page
This is a sample page of how to get in contact. Right now, the message doesn't go anywhere and there isn't actually a newsletter, but that would be a chance for future development.
