Running can sometimes feel like a leg workout—here’s how it stacks up against strength training.
If you’re hitting the trails, there are a couple of things you have to have, like a solid pair of hiking boots and a trail-mapping app that keeps you from accidentally starring in your own survival story. Enter AllTrails, the go-to navigation app for outdoorsy folks, whether you’re an urban hiker, a weekend warrior, or practically live outdoors. Think of it as your trusty sidekick for exploring new paths and staying on track (literally).
Lucky us—an annual membership of AllTrails+, the souped-up premium version of the beloved app, is now 50 percent off, discounted to just $18/year. If you do the math, that’s about $1.50 per month—a steal compared to the normal price of $35/year. If you have a big adventure planned for 2025 (or a few!), this upgrade is totally worth it. Just use the promo code NEWYEAR2025 to save.
The award-winning app offers information on over 450,000 trails around the world, including far-flung locations like Peru, Japan, and Iceland. You can search hiking trails by name, city, and park, while useful filters let you narrow down the options based on difficulty, length, accessibility, and more. AllTrails also contains community-curated photos and reviews from fellow hikers, so you can literally see trail conditions before you get outside.
The AllTrails+ has all the same aforementioned features of the free version, and then some. For starters, with AllTrails+, you can download interactive maps straight to your cell phone to use when wandering without cell service. The handy feature provides a lot of security, helping you stay on the path and even alerting you when you make a wrong turn.
In the event of an emergency, the app’s Lifeline feature allows you to send an update to your chosen emergency contact or automatically alerts them
