I haven't seen the actual trails from EveryTrail, but *some* of them might
not be useful since users can document trails that are not actually trails
(like it cuts right through a rainforest), especially trails generated by
mountaineers.

Anyway, this might or might not be interesting, but Google and EveryTrail
had a sort of agreement just last month and many trails from EveryTrail can
now be viewed as a default layer in Google Earth. Check out this cool
