AllTrails review

AllTrails is where most hikers start, and for good reason. AllTrails lists more than 500,000 trails worldwide that you can search by location, skill level and interest, with filters for dog-friendly, kid-friendly, stroller-friendly and wheelchair-friendly routes. Each trail page carries community reviews, photos and recent conditions, which help you judge a hike before you drive to it. The free tier covers search, recording and phone navigation. AllTrails Plus, $35.99 a year on the US App Store, adds downloadable maps for trails, parks and whole areas, wrong-turn alerts, live sharing with family, 3D topo maps and weather, air quality and UV forecasts along the route. The newer Peak tier, $79.99 a year, lets you draw custom routes or edit existing ones and shows heatmaps of recent activity. The gaps: route planning from scratch costs extra, and it lacks the slope, avalanche and land ownership layers that backcountry apps provide.

Day hikers and families who want to find a good trail fast, read recent reviews and carry offline maps.
