[Talk-us] confusing state of USFS trail names in Oregon

[Dion Dock]

I did some mountain biking around Bend, Oregon this summer.  Apparently the Deschutes Ranger District of the US Forest Service can’t decide what to call their trails.  For example, at the Skyliners trailhead, there’s a sign that says
	SKYLINER TRAIL NO. 28
	JCT. WOOPS TRAIL NO 50 2 1/2

One of the USFS maps calls it the Woops trail, https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd639418.pdf <https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd639418.pdf>.  And there’s another map that I can’t find that seems to back this one up.
Their web site calls it the Whoops Trail with no number, https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/deschutes/recreation/bicycling/recarea/?recid=38294&actid=24 <https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/deschutes/recreation/bicycling/recarea/?recid=38294&actid=24>.

There’s similar disagreement about Skyliner Trail vs Skyliners.

So…is this worth trying to straighten out?  Supposedly the trails all have numbers but I can’t find a reliable source (e.g. nothing else gives Whoops #50).

thanks,
-Dion
