OK, that’s interesting. I remember seeing the term “trail” more for bike paths than for hiking ones.
Here’s an excerpt from ai, which is even more interesting. It seems the “trail” is meant for any unpaved surface, including waterways!
Definition and Characteristics
- Pathway Type: A trail is typically an unpaved or minimally paved route that is not designed for motorized vehicles. It often winds through natural areas, making it popular for recreational activities like hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing.
- Usage: Trails can serve various purposes, including:
- Pedestrian Trails: Designed mainly for walkers and hikers.
- Mountain Biking Trails: Specifically constructed for cyclists.
- Equestrian Trails: Intended for horseback riding.
- Water Trails: Routes on water bodies for kayaking or canoeing
Yes, I think it would be a good time to make it more prominent and start focusing on what is inside and getting feedback in that direction.
I might add this note about trails. Perhaps as the post in that thread.
