Re: When a trail is not a "trail"
September 2020 AMA Answer. By the way. How should we determine which trail markers are eligible and which are ineligible? As long as the marker represents a trail it should be accepted. It should be something that is on the path of the trail, helps people find the path, has the trail name and is permanent. If it seems like… -

Re: "Not Historically or Culturally Significant"....

Re: How can we help reviewers improve?

Please check our stance on the below scenarios: a) A marker with the trail name on the trail <-… -
