[OSM-newbies] Should power line access trails be mapped

[Xan]

In my opinion, yes.
All things that you could map, you should map because these things could serve others to guide theirselfs, overall in national park. A Power line could serve for saying "yes, we are on the right track!".

If you have to priorize, first map the main ("big") things as highways, relevant houses, etc. And then the small things.

You say that the official mapping of the park maps this trails. I think it's because the trails are important for any reason. So, my answer could be yes. But always it depends on your available time.
