Is the AllTrails Peak Premium Subscription Worth It?

To commemorate 15 years and fully cementing its status as the world’s most as a popular hiking app, AllTrails has just announced a bunch of new, heavily requested features. Some of these features, like the ability to locate points of interest, are promised for all AllTrails users. Others, including access to offline area maps, will soon become available to those who pay for the company’s Plus membership ($36/year). And still, other features like custom routes, more detailed information about on-trail conditions, and community heatmaps will be reserved for members of a new premium tier called Peak, which will cost $80 a year.

To get an early look at the new tier, which launches today, 12 May 2025, I attended a special preview in the Catskills earlier this month, where I had the opportunity to meet the AllTrails team behind the new update and test out a slew of new features myself. Though the bulk of the updates are now available to AllTrails members, it’s worth mentioning not all features will be available until after an upcoming global app update, planned for June.
