Trail Information Report

In addition to the trail number, trail rating and hike description, this report contains more specific information  about a hike. If the �Total GPS elevation gain ____� appears adjacent to the Trail #, the total gain was calculated by the GPS as the trail was being hiked.  Therefore, the total round trip includes the elevations ups and downs.  An entry appears for every significant event that is encountered (ex. trail junctions,  significant saddles,  spring,  detail description of key point to watch for, etc.).  When available, the following information is provide about the event.

Time -              The time to hike between points from the trailhead to the end of the trail.  If you hike back down the same trail, the Time Down column reflects the appropriate times.   The time includes short rest stops, but not lunch stops.

Time Down -    The time to hike back down the same trail you hiked up.

Miles �             Approximate miles between points.

Accum -           Approximate accumulated miles between points.

Elevation -        Approximate elevation at the point indicated.

Gain or Loss �  Approximate elevation gain or loss between points

Totals �            Listed after the last point on the hike and reflect total time, miles and  elevation gain/loss.

If GPS waypoints information is available for this particular hike, a waypoint name appears to the right of the description in BOLD BLUE CAPS.  If you have a Garmin GPS with a USB port or a serial port, arrangements can be made to download detailed GPS trail information for the mountain ranges where GPS data exists, by contacting Gary Borax.
