These data depicts trails in and around Rocky Mountain National Park.
They are derived and developed from a number of sources. These include:
>1:100000-scale USGS Digital Line Graph (DLG) data,
>1:50000-scale USGS map of Rocky Mountain National Park (40105-A4-PF-050),
>GPS (Global Positioning System) data.
These data have also been updated and upgraded using heads-up digitizing using USGS DOQQ's and color DOQQ's developed for Rocky Mountain National Park as a backdrop. As of January 2007, 62% of trail miles in this database have been upgraded via GPS and DOQQ digitizing.
**NOTE** - These data may be available as either an ESRI coverage or as ESRI shapefiles, and this one metadata file is valid for all those data.
**NOTE** - The SEGNAME and OLDNAME fields depict the names of trails as known by the Trail Crew of RMNP, and are mentioned in planning documents such as the "Trails System Maintenance and Reconstruction Plan 2000" and the earlier 1982 Trail Plan.
Unfortunately, many trails in the Park do NOT have just ONE COMMON NAME!!
An example would be the main trail through Wild Basin. Depending on who you ask, this trail may be refered to as:
the Wild Basin Trail, or;
the Copeland Falls Trail, or;
the Thunder Lake Trail, or;
the Ouzel Falls Trail;
and perhaps even the Bluebird Lake Trail. Many people identify a trail name with their destination.
Data used and/or developed by the Rocky Mountain National Park
GIS Program is used in the protection and management of
Rocky Mountain National Park.

The attribute accuracy is deductively estimated to be "good".
If a higher proof of data accuracy is required, do not use
this data. User is advised to FULLY and CAREFULLY READ the
"DISTRIBUTION LIABILITY" section of this metadata before using
this data.
Chain-node topology present.
Data is considered complete. Some datasets are parkwide in scope,
while others were developed and/or updated to address specific
management concerns within particular spatial coordinates. Users of
this data are advised to FULLY and CAREFULLY READ the "DISTRIBUTION
LIABILITY" section of this metadata before using this data.
Horizontal accuracy varies depending on the source of individual
components within the data. Data derived from USGS data (DLGs, DEMs, DOQQs)
are assumed to meet National Map Accuracy standards, though extensive
experience in using USGS data for the Rocky Mountain National Park
area has shown that many data components have spatial errors exceeding
the National Map Accuracy standards. Data produced from GPS
(Global Positioning System) field data is assumed to be spatially
accurate to within 2-5 meters.
A data layer consisting of 1:100000-scale USGS DLG data was queried and vectors were extracted to form the base of this data.
Additional vectors were added and some 1:100000-scale vectors were replaced with more accurate vectors digitized off of a paper copy of the 1:50000-scale USGS Rocky Mountain National Park Map (40105-A4-PF-050).
Additionally, some vectors were added and others adjusted using heads-up digitizing technique (digitizing off of the computer screen) using 1:12000- scale USGS DOQQs as a backdrop.
Additional vectors were added and some 1:100000-scale and 1:50000-scale vectors were replaced with more accurate vectors created by collecting GPS data. Line data were collected using Trimble GPS (Global Positioning System) equipment. All data was post-processed with Trimble's software resulting in an accuracy of 2-5 meters. Line features were edited and splined to clean up vectors using the ARC/INFO ARCEDIT module.
Attributes were added to vectors during post-processing, though some attributes were attached to the data in the field using a pre-defined data dictionary when GPS data was collected.
Trails that have been closed or rerouted but that existed in the various data sources described above have been removed from this dataset.

If this dataset is a COVERAGE: the first four items in the polygon attribute table (PAT), or the first seven items in the arc attribute table (AAT) are automatically generated by ARC/INFO software. Contact ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.) or read their literature for detailed descriptions of their internal file structure. ESRI can be reached at <URL:http://www.esri.com.>
If this dataset is a SHAPEFILE, the first two items in the data table are automatically generated. Contact ESRI or read their literature for detailed descriptions of their internal file structure. ESRI can be reached at <URL:http://www.esri.com.>
The SEGNAME item is the name of the trail segment as described in the 'Trails System Maintenance and Reconstruction Plan 2000'.
The SEGMENT item is a alpha-numeric code identifying unique trail segments as described in the 'Trails System Maintenance and Reconstruction Plan 2000'.
The UNIT item describes which area of the Park a trail is located as described in the 'Trails System Maintenance and Reconstruction Plan 2000'.
The UNITNUM item is a numeric code indicating which area of the Park a trail is located as described in the 'Trails System Maintenance and Reconstruction Plan 2000'.
The STANDARD item is a code, A thru F, "used to precribe levels of construction for trails according
to type and volume of use". A component of the 'Trails System Maintenance and Reconstruction Plan 2000'.
The USERCLASS item identifies the type of use a trail receives. Four values:
>"F" (foot traffic)
>"F/E" (foot traffic / private horse)
>"ALL" (foot traffic / private horse / limited commercial livery)
>"CL" (primary commercial livery / foot and private horse use okay)
The HORSE_USE item is a text field that emulates a "YES/NO" data type.
Values indicate whether or not horse use is permitted on the trail. Two values:
>"Y" (Yes)
>"N" (No)
The CDT item is a text field that emulates a "YES/NO" data type.
Values indicate whether a segment has been designated as part of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail.
One value:
>"Y" (Yes)
The MILES item is populated by multiplying the LENGTH item (meters) by 0.0006213711922, or by use of the AlaskaPak for ArcGIS extension.
The FEET item is populated by multiplying the LENGTH item (meters) by 3.280839895, or by use of the AlaskaPak for ArcGIS extension.
The SOURCE item defines the source of individual components within the data set.
Examples:
>DOQQ/USGS - arcs, polygons, and/or points digitized from features visible on
>1:12000 USGS digital orthophotoquads

>System equipment
Other values might exist.
The OLDNAME item is a text field populated by the trail name as refered to in the 1982 Trail Plan.
