<p>Can you give a few examples of what trailheads are to you?
There's a clearly defined American concept, it isn't not really
used much in British English. Also what do you mean by "official"
below - is there some kind of VVV list or similar?<br>

<div dir="ltr">After discussions in the Dutch user community, a
list of all Dutch trailheads was compiled and systematically
entered as nodes tagged highway=trailhead, name=<official

just did some additional tagging. <br clear="all">

<div>In the US, trailheads are all maintained on OSM by a
national operator. Japan has lots of trailheads, I don't
know how they are maintained. In Europe, no systematical
OSM-tagging appears to take place, except for the Dutch
base. </div>

<div>I think it deserves a push. </div>

<div>Any thoughts on the matter?</div>
