AllTrails
AllTrails is a mobile app and website platform providing a comprehensive database of trail maps, reviews, and photos for hiking, running, mountain biking, and other outdoor activities. Launched in 2010, the platform aims to connect outdoor enthusiasts with trails suited to their skill level and interests. Users can search for trails based on location, difficulty, length, elevation gain, user ratings, and activity type.
AllTrails offers a freemium business model. The free version allows users to browse trails, view maps, record their activities, and leave reviews. A paid subscription, typically called AllTrails+, provides additional features such as offline map downloads, off-route notifications, 3D maps, and the removal of advertisements.
The platform relies heavily on user-generated content. Users contribute trail reviews, photos, and activity recordings, which helps to build a community and provide valuable insights for other users. This crowdsourced data allows potential hikers and other outdoor adventurers to gain a better understanding of trail conditions, difficulty, and overall experience before embarking on a particular route. AllTrails is a popular resource for finding and planning outdoor adventures globally.
