But that's exactly what the AWTGS does, it conflates a bunch of independent
variables together, it generally works where the harder trails are longer
and steeper and more remote, but breaks down for long walks which are flat,
easily accessible, easy to navigate and not remote. However, it's in use as
an official grading system, so it's fine to map it at least in the case
where it's officially assigned. Data consumers can decide if they want to
use it or use more attributes for each specific trail difficulty variable.
