AllTrails Scraper for Trail Stats, Ratings and Closures

AllTrails is a trail guide for hikers, walkers, runners and riders, used on the web and in its app. Its catalogue is a geography before it is a list: search works by place - city, state or country - by park, from local parks to national forests and national parks, by trail name, and by lists the AllTrails team curates, such as one that holds every section of the Pacific Crest Trail. Points of interest, from viewpoints and lakes to campgrounds, lead to the trails that pass them, and trail features such as waterfalls, forests, wildlife or city walks cut any area into themes.

The trail page is the unit: a verified route on a map, distance and elevation, directions to the trailhead, photos, reviews and activities. Routes are checked by AllTrails moderators before they go live, members add reviews, photos and condition reports, and land managers in the AllTrails Public Lands Program post trail and park alerts, closures among them. Closed trails and private routes stay listed under their tag, so a closure is a field rather than a gap.

The site and app run in fourteen languages: English for the US and the UK, Danish, Dutch, German, French, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Swedish, two Spanish and two Portuguese versions. The trails are shared; the language and the units change. Offline maps, the Trail Conditions weather card and other Plus and Peak features belong to paying members and are not part of what we collect.

Trail pages record where people go outdoors, how hard the routes are and when they are worth doing. The uses follow from those columns.

• Outdoor retail and gear brandsreview counts by park and region show where hiking, backpacking or trail running concentrates, and the seasons the descriptions name show when, so stock and campaigns can follow the season state by state.
• Tourism boards and park agenciesstar rating, difficulty and visitation level across a region show which routes carry the load and which are overlooked; closure tags and alerts show how much of a network is shut at a given moment.
• Accommodation and travel plannerstrails near a town, with their length and suitability tags, give a destination page something concrete to say about the outdoors around it.
• Accessibility researchpaved, stroller-friendly and wheelchair-friendly routes counted by county or park measure access to nature with one yardstick everywhere.
• Apps and guidebook teamstrail length, elevation gain and route type refreshed on a schedule keep a regional guide current without re-walking every route.
