What is AllTrails?

AllTrails is a trail discovery and navigation app built on a very large library of mapped routes contributed and reviewed by its community. You search by location, then filter by distance, elevation gain, difficulty and practical details such as dog, child or wheelchair suitability, and read recent reviews with photos before committing. On the trail it records your route by GPS and, on the paid tier, follows downloaded maps when there is no signal. An assistant that answers natural-language questions about trails has been added recently, but the underlying value is still the map data and the reviews.

FAQ

Do I have to pay to use AllTrails?

No. Searching trails, viewing maps and recording a hike work on the free tier. Offline maps, alerts that warn you when you drift off route, and some map layers require the paid subscription.

How accurate are the trails?

Routes come from official sources and from other users, so quality varies. Reading recent reviews and photos for the specific trail is the most reliable way to judge current conditions before you go.

Can I use it without a signal?

Yes, if you download the map for that area in advance on the paid tier. Without a download the app still records your GPS track but cannot show the base map.
