I have recorded a track and combined it with waypoints including photos in a folder (using the website).
The folder, track, waypoints and photos are set to public. What do I need to do that the folder can be found on https://www.gaiagps.com/hike/ ?
Do I need to create a hike instead of having track/waypoints/photos in a folder?
Some help would be highly appreciated.

  Hi @midiwidi,
  
  Hikes are automatically added when the website finds a trail marked on the Gaia Topo map that matches multiple track recordings by users. This is how we ensure the trails listed are open and hikeable.
  
  It is not currently possible to manually add hikes.
  
  Setting your track and other data to public is a great help. Now the algorithm can combine it with others' tracks and create a Hike when there are enough tracks to show that it's a popular, hikeable route.
