In my mind, grade1 is only for long route, so it could by 2 or 3.
It seems to be culturally significant so may be 2.
In a such forest, in France we have many and many paths, I don't know
for USA.
Some of them are long route, other are short, bad, without POI and only
used by hunters, mushroom collector, ...
Today I don't see others path in your map, but if such paths exist, it
would be important to be able to distinguish them.
