ELEVATION

In each trail’s opener, you will see the elevation at the trailhead or other starting location and another figure for the peak height you will reach on that route. For routes that entail significant inclines and declines, the full hike profile also includes a complete ssss1.

ACCESS

Fees or permits required to hike the trail are detailed here—and noted if there are none. Trail-access hours are also shown here.

MAPS

Resources for maps, in addition to those in this guidebook, are listed here. (As previously noted, the publisher and myself recommend that you carry more than one map—and that you consult those maps before heading out on the trail to resolve any confusion or discrepancy.)

FACILITIES

Alerts you to restrooms, water, picnic tables, and other basics at or near the trailhead.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESS

Tells you whether paved sections or other areas exist where persons with disabilities can safely using a wheelchair.

COMMENTS

Here you will find assorted nuggets of information, such as whether or not dogs are allowed on the trails.
