Whether you’re planning a day hike with kids or a backpacking trip in the wilderness, this comprehensive, crowdsourced trail guide (over 400,000 entries!) helps you discover the best path.

With the Preview Trail feature, see a route’s path on a 3D satellite map that you can pan around or zoom in on.

We knew we loved it when: We saw how thoughtful and engaged the AllTrails’ community is. Continually updated crowdsourced notes, which are curated by the AllTrails team, alerted us to trail flooding after a recent rain and suggested waiting for an overcast day to embark on a hike with no tree cover. (We’re glad we listened!) They also helped us discover a lovely stretch of wildflowers in full bloom.

The graph of a trail’s elevation gain helps us pick the perfect hike for our group’s comfort level. Downloadable maps have gotten us out of a pinch more than once!

Our favorite discovery: Seeing our elevation gain at a glance with Apple Watch. (We were only at mile 3, but it felt more like mile 10!) The stat reminded us to slow our pace and drink more than usual to stay hydrated.

Our favorite moment: The time we used the satellite map to find an out-of-the-way (but gorgeous!) waterfall. Being able to see the satellite image of the river that fed the waterfall—and exactly where we were along its path—led us right to the spot.
