I've been impressed with OSM's https://opentrailmap.us/
but it doesn't have the ratings/uploads/discussion that something like alltrails has. might be cool to have a fediverse/activitypub application using OSMtrails data.

Osmand has official hiking and biking routes but not like what you or I want. Wanderer is the immich of routes.
Wanderer is pretty fun, more user curated things, some are shitty some are high quality, depends, plus you can just contrubute your route too! And the fact that it's activity pub powered is a nice bonus
Yeah, I want to be able to upload my trails as well. My plan is to set up Endurain on my server and transfer everything from Garmin to my server. Then I can select trails and upload to Wanderer or other sites. That way I will be in control of all hiking/running/mtb that I do but I will still contribute to the community by adding routes.
How does the activity pub part works? How do I find and federate with other servers? @illusionist@lemmy.zip
It is enabled by default, you just need other server to be able to contact your server by https. Then you'll see other servers content on your timeline, of course as always with activity pub, you might need to kickstart it by following a few people first.
You can also follow people from a wanderer instance on mstdon then you'll get posts with links to the trails :)
I haven't used alltrails since they started requiring login. I generally find trail information from the website or in person visitor center of the relevant park/conservation district/forrest service/whatever. Sometimes I'll map out those points on Organic Maps manually if I know I'll need to reference the map while out of cell signal.
Yeah, I usually take a photo of the trails on the information board or at the visitor center but in Sweden we are free to wander everywhere so there is no official info about many of the trails here. Of course all big trails can be found online and many other exist in some way on Internet but that information is scattered.
I can't help on the open source side but I find Komoot to be more user friendly and open. For example you can download GPX files without a subscription to then make trail bookmarks in open source apps like CoMaps.
I've enjoyed Hiking Project, but my needs are pretty simple and don't know if it has the features you are looking for
