The Trails database provides summary information on trails OMH has hiked in recent years.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is required

    Each trail report includes
        - a general overview describing the trail
        - Planning factors for Hike Leaders
        - Trailhead access notes
        - Sources for additional information about the trail
        - Summary of recent hikes on this trail.

    The hike summaries are listed by date and include:
        - Hike leader, number of hikers,
        - Route taken, length of hike
        - Difficulty Rating (1 to 5, with 5 most difficult)
        - Scenic Rating (1 to 5, with 5 most scenic)
        - Highlights of the hike as reported by hike leader

Even though reported for the same trail, or trail system, distances, difficulty, and scenic ratings
may vary due to the route taken, the season of the year, or other factors peculiar to a given hike date.

Some of the Map files are quite large and will take some time to load on a dial up line.
