It’s deep into summertime, which means getting outside and enjoying nature! If one of your favorite outdoors activity is walking or hiking trails, then make sure to download All Trails before you head out.

Sometimes the hardest part of hiking is figuring out which trail is best for you, but this app makes it easy to get out and explore new places, even close to home. All Trails has a collection of over 50,000 trail maps, with 300+ in Indiana alone. 50,000 options seems overwhelming, but the app suggests the best trails according to your location. You can also choose the perfect hike for your skill level by using filters for length, difficulty, and elevation. Bring along the kids and even your dog by selecting kid and dog friendly hikes!

After checking out the map, reviews, and photos of your prefered hike, save it to your favorites and the app will give you driving directions right to the trail head. Click “record” before you take off and track the mileage and time of your hike. Write your own review for the hike, add some pictures, and save your hike history to view later. Add adventure to your calendar this summer and download All Trails to get you started! You can also check out our blog post on Indiana Parks and Recreation for more ideas on getting out and exploring.
