I agree, strongly, that we should remove the data in question. AllTrails in
particular has a history of [presumably] unintentionally directing people
towards sites that are supposed to only be open to tribal members and
invited guests, and I think this is a case where the unintended consequence
of mapping such sites are far more substantial than the benefit of having
them mapped.
