AllTrails uses your location to enable features such as showing trails near you. Your privacy is incredibly important to us, and we won't share your location information unless you ask us to.

You can enable location permissions on common browsers by following these steps:

Google Chrome: 

  1. While viewing the AllTrails website, locate the lock icon just to the left of the website URL in the browser header
  2. Click on the icon and select 'Site settings' 
  3. Find 'Location' under the list of permissions and select ‘Allow’ from the drop down menu
  4. If required, update your system preferences to allow Chrome to use your location
  5. Refresh your browser and you should now have location permissions enabled

Still having trouble? 

If you’re using Mac OS, you may need to update your system preferences to allow your web browser access to your location.

You may also benefit from updating your default member location in your AllTrails settings. This location is customizable and determines which trails you see on the Explore page. Click here for more information on adjusting your default member location.
