A website making trail data from OpenStreetMap easily browsable: https://trailcatalog.org/

Myself and a friend have been working on this for quite a while. It's frustrating because it has come so far (showing trail data worldwide interactively on a tiny budget is challenging), and yet it is so far from being something super useful like AllTrails due to low data quality and a lack of relevant features (photos, reviews, etc etc.)

Have you looked into following the links from OSM elements to Wikidata items and their associated Wikipedia/WikiVoyage articles, Commons images etc.?
Ahh this is a good idea, my friend in fact has been asking me to add it forever. I've been hesitating since the data seems so sparse but I think you're both right. Thank you for the feedback!
