AllTrails has a wide variety of filters to help you find your perfect trail. Our newest filter, available to AllTrails+ subscribers, is the Distance Away filter, which allows you to find trails close to your current location.
The Distance Away filter requires access to your device's location. Using your IP address, the filter determines the distance between your present location and the nearest trails in our database. In order for this feature to function properly, you must provide AllTrails access to your location.
If you have not given AllTrails permission to access your location, you will be prompted to grant access before the filter can be applied.
The Distance Away filter is an AllTrails+ feature. Only AllTrails+ subscribers will have access to this feature.
Via desktop or laptop computer:
The Distance Away filter is located on the Explore page of the AllTrails website, just above the map alongside the other filters. Selecting the filter will open a dropdown menu where you can adjust the intensity of the filter.
After setting the slider to your desired distance, make sure to select the 'See # trails' button to apply the filter.
The map and list of trails in the column on the left will then repopulate to show you the closest trails to your current location.
In the example above, the Distance Away filter was set to 20 miles. The filter produced trails within a 20-mile radius of the user's location. The greyed-out areas are excluded from the search results in the map image above. Only the areas with the trailhead pins were included in the results.
Via iPhone/Android apps:
