Your next trail is an hour away

The real elevation gain, the parking, and whether the dog can come.

A directory is worthless if nobody keeps it current

A parking lot that starts charging, a trail closed for work, a new autumn schedule: these changes happen constantly, and they are what makes a directory wrong. Here, trail pages are monitored and corrected continuously — without waiting for a visitor to tell us.

Summer Our busiest season — August is the peak
Winter Spikes more often than snowshoes

Why not just use AllTrails?

Fair question. Three answers, and none of them is “we are bigger”.

We say when a trail is dull A trail with no viewpoint, we say so. A parking lot that overflows, we say so. Nobody pays us to be enthusiastic. No sponsored content
Free, no account No trail page behind a subscription. You can read everything without giving us your email — the PDF guide is the only place we ask. Zero paywall

I would rather tell you a trail is dull than sell it to you.
