Notes on the trails list
The trails list is basically the same as has been produced by the group in paper form.
The loop/in-out column has been expanded to allow downloading a gpx file that was captured during the hike. That file was used to create the GPS Map column which is a topographic map of the trail with GPS related coordinates that indicate the location of the hike and the associated elevation profile.
Notes on the plants and animal tabs
The additional tabs are descriptions and pictures of the flora and fauna that were encountered on our local trails. The pictures are by far mostly ones that I have taken to help us identify those plants and animals. I have included a few pictures taken from the Web for plants or animals that we have not seen in order to help differentiate between existing species that should also be found there. The descriptions of plants and animals that I have not seen but that I believe exist in the areas in which we hike leave us with additional things to be discovered and added to these pages.
The Map column is an actual directions map to the trailhead.
The Notes column allows for downloading the PDF notes file for that trail that includes the topographic map, elevation profile, directions to the trailhead and pictures of the area taken during the hike as well as pictures of many of the plants seen along the trail.
