[Talk-us] Trailheads

[Greg Troxel]

  I've been thinking about this question for a few days.  Maybe the only
  way to distinguish a trailhead is that it has been designated as this by
  some trail authority.

  For instance, the Ogden River Parkway
  (http://weberpathways.org/trails_display.asp?ID=30 ) crosses several
  streets but only certain places are designated trailheads.  On the West
  Haven Trail (http://weberpathways.org/trails_display.asp?ID=32 ) the
  trailhead is located where there is public parking and a paved trail
  (not a sidewalk) all of the way to the Weber River Parkway.

I am sympathetic to Sam's position that one should simply represent
what's there (sign boards, parking), and I agree with it.  But we should
also be able to represent official designations of trailheadedness, or
the equivalent judgement of locals.
