AllTrails

AllTrails treats finding a hike as a filtering problem. The browse experience layers facets (difficulty, length, elevation gain, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, waterfalls, route type) over a map-and-list split, and tightening those filters reshapes both views at once. Each trail page leans on community reviews and recent photos to answer the question a star rating can't: is the trail currently muddy, washed out, or crowded. The downloadable offline map is the core utility, and gating it behind the paid tier is a friction point users feel exactly when signal drops. Recording your own track is competent but plainer than the discovery layer. The whole product is tuned for the moment before you leave, not during.
