AllTrails free helps you find and vet hikes, but Plus is worth it for offline maps and alerts. *Biggest Discount I Found:* https://alltrails.pxf.io/c/5076976/2933040/22353 *Gear I'm Using Now:* * inReach: https://hkgy.co/inreach * Hiking App: https://hkgy.co/app * Watch: https://hkgy.co/watch * Shoes: https://hkgy.co/shoes * Pack: https://hkgy.co/backpack * Rescue Insurance: https://hkgy.co/insurance *Full Hiking Gear List (What I Use Now - Tested & Not Sponsored):* https://hikingguy.com/gear *Links:* * Website: https://hikingguy.com * Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/hikingguy * Monthly Hiking News (free): https://www.patreon.com/c/hikingguy/ * Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/Hikingguy AllTrails free is useful for hikers who want to find trails, compare options, and plan routes before heading out. This video explains how to use AllTrails free features and where an AllTrails Plus or Peak upgrade may make sense. It covers trail discovery, map view, filters for distance and elevation, trail pages, community reviews, park alerts, and route planning on desktop and mobile. A major takeaway is that reviews and official alerts can reveal closures, conditions, and trail activity that may not be obvious from the guide alone. The video also walks through navigation features such as saved hikes, GPS tracking, elevation profiles, directions to the trailhead, and Apple Watch support. For paid tiers, it highlights offline maps, printable maps, 3D maps, weather radar, snow depth overlays, Live Share, off-route alerts, and Garmin Connect support. The tradeoffs are clear. The free version works well for discovery and basic planning, while AllTrails Plus is presented as the stronger value for offline navigation and safety features. Peak adds heat maps, custom routes in the app, and plant ID, but those extras are described as less essential for many hikers. 00:00 Trip Planning 01:56 Maps 03:57 Navigation 04:40 Live Tracking 05:48 Turn Alerts 06:23 Reviews --- *Disclaimer:* Some of these links are affiliate links where I’ll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.
