Use Official Sources of Information
Check maps and official sources where routes are verified, graded, accurate and up to date.
Choose a trail that matches your fitness level and experience. Websites with verified data provide detailed information on specific trails, including distance, elevation gain, estimated duration, track conditions, and amenities. Be wary of crowd-sourced data that can sometimes be unreliable and inaccurate.
