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.
