Description: Trails and trail-like features within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in 2013. Formal trails are designated and regularly maintained. They are described using a range of class values established by the Forest Service Handbook 2309.18: Trails Management Handbook, pages 6 - 10: "Class 1" (Minimally Developed); "Class 2" (Moderately Developed); "Class 3" (Developed); "Class 4" (Highly Developed); "Class 5" (Developed). All other trails are attributed using descriptive categories: "Abandoned" (trail that was once a formal, maintained trail, but that has had maintenance discontinued because of some past management decision); Informal (a landscape impact created by users that looks like a segment of trail); "Other" (a trail-like feature, including pedestrial walkway along a flume).
