Nor are there any signs in the park that going off official trails is illegal (there are a few restricted areas elsewhere in the park). In fact, getting to many of the destinations in the park require travel off of the official trails. For example, there are no official trails to the summit of Mt Meeker, Hallett Peak, or Mt Otis (not to mention dozens of other peaks, lakes and waterfalls).
> discouraged Perhaps if a tourist looking for a short scenic hike were to ask a ranger it would be as it is steeper than the nearby official trail (covers the same amount of vertical in less horizontal distance) and is not particularly scenic (goes through dense woods). It is mainly used by hikers wanting to get to the more distant peaks on the continental divide as well as rangers patrolling the area. There are no signs or maps discouraging its use. > dangerous? No more dangerous that some official trails in the park. The trail is well defined so there is little danger of getting lost, and there is little chance of a long fall. Like many official trails, there is a risk of tripping on rocks and roots. > Maybe it is taggable, Yes, all characteristics of this trail that might be of interest are taggable. The issue is that some apps do not symbolize all of this information. This is an issue with the apps themselves, and should be addressed with the app developers, not by changing how we map things in OSM. Mike
