Whether you're exploring the US or researching things to do in your hometown, you have to get info on the best hiking areas in Gainesville. Growing up in North Georgia myself, I might be a little biased. But one of the most exciting things to do in Gainesville is enjoying the great outdoors. With mobile apps like AllTrails at the ready, you can find the best hiking trails near you during your stay in Gainesville. It will point you to all of the hotspots like the Elachee Nature Science Center and Don Carter State Park, both of which are filled with scenic mountain trails. 

Hiking the mountains may be tons of fun, but you don't have to go hiking to have adventures in Gainesville. Using mobile traveling apps, you can find the best places to eat and hang out near you. With restaurant reviews, menus, hours, and suggestions, these apps are full of ideas for a great night out on the town and a delicious meal. Finding restaurants unique to Gainesville that really gives you a flavor of the town will be much easier with these mobile apps. They'll give you the confidence to try something new based on recommendations, instead of stopping at a basic chain restaurant in your comfort zone. 

Along with restaurants, these apps will also show you where you can meet new people in Gainesville. If you're a local, you might end up falling in with the same crowd again and again, or maybe you don't have a crowd at all. Mobile apps can help you find events downtown or near you where people who share your interests are gathering. There are plenty of activities like street art fairs, craft shopping, small concerts, or wine tasting in the mountains. There's a lot more town to see and more people like you than you might think, and there's nothing wrong with using your phone to help you find them.
