AllTrails

AllTrails is an outdoor exploration platform founded in 2010, with a website and mobile apps that help people discover trails for hiking, running and riding. Its trail information supports route planning through maps, photos, community reviews and details such as length and estimated duration. The company introduced curated Collections and dedicated Park Pages in its 2024 platform update. Its current mission is to help people find their way outside, with a global community rather than a single walking destination. Through its Public Lands Program, AllTrails offers land managers free real-time trail data and insights, and it supports conservation and outdoor-access organisations as a 1% for the Planet company. Visitors should check current trail conditions, local access rules and closures before setting out; a mapped route is not a guarantee of safe or permitted access.
