Trail: Trails are paths laid out, developed, and maintained to greater or lesser degrees by land management agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service, the BLM, and the National Park Service. Trails usually have signs, a wide tread, switchbacks on steep hillsides, and waterbars to direct water off the tread. When necessary, trails might have safety features such as railings or chains. |
