Sharing experiences with friends
Generate shareable links or make your experiences public for the community to discover.
Generating a share link
Open any experience and click the Share button to generate a unique link. Anyone with this link can view your experience details including the itinerary, map, and gear checklist. Share links work even for people who don't have a Cairn account.
Making experiences public
Toggle the visibility setting on any experience to make it public. Public experiences appear on the Community page where other outdoor enthusiasts can discover, save, and draw inspiration from your trips. You can make an experience private again at any time.
Community discovery
When your experiences are public, they show up in search results, category browsing, and the community feed. Other users can like, comment, and save your experiences. This is a great way to share trail knowledge, campsite reviews, and route recommendations with fellow adventurers.
Privacy controls
You have full control over what's shared. Even when an experience is public, your exact GPS coordinates and personal notes remain private. You can customize which sections of the itinerary are visible to others and whether comments are enabled.
