Quick outdoor activity discovery
Detailed route navigation or offline use
Overview
AllTrails partnered with OpenAI as a launch app for ChatGPT in late 2025. You describe what you want (a 4-mile loop with low elevation gain, dog-friendly, near Boulder) and AllTrails returns matching trails with difficulty, distance, and ratings. Useful for spontaneous outdoor planning when you don't want to dig through filters.
Pros
- Natural-language trail discovery
- No login required for basic search
- Pulls real ratings and difficulty data
Cons
- Coverage strongest in North America
- Offline use needs AllTrails+ in the app
- Detailed route navigation happens in AllTrails proper
