What it does
AllTrails helps people find hiking and running trails by city, park or trail name. Listings show distance and difficulty information. The service also promotes activity recording, custom routes and downloadable maps.
Search for a park or a nearby trail, then compare the listed distance and difficulty before choosing an outing. The visible listings show why this is more useful than searching only by a scenic photograph: a route name, length and difficulty can narrow the options early.
The service also offers trip creation and custom-route tools. Downloadable maps are useful to consider when planning for limited phone service, but verify the relevant plan and map before heading out. Trail listings and user ratings help with discovery; the decision to attempt a route still needs current local conditions and your own circumstances.
Offline map downloads are part of Plus membership. The plan page offers a seven-day trial followed by an annual charge and says cancellation is available in settings. Save the relevant map before losing service, and check the renewal terms shown in your own account.
