Route RatingRoute descriptions include a rating by number. 1 An easy walk on pavement or on well maintained trail, with no significant hills. Probably suitable for wheelchairs and child strollers. 2 A moderately easy walk on some pavement, some woodland, or some open fields. Or entirely on woodland and fields that may be well maintained. No significant hills. May not be suitable for wheelchairs nor child strollers. 3 A moderate walk in any setting with some difficult terrain. One or two substantial hills and/or steps. Wheelchairs and child strollers may have some difficulty. 4 A more difficult walk; most likely in rural settings with poorly maintained paths and steep or hilly inclines. Not suitable for wheelchairs and child strollers, nor persons with health problems. 5 A very difficult walk. All on rough fields, rough trails, or rough roads. Many steep hills, high altitude trails, very rough and uneven terrain and steep or unstable inclines. Not suitable for any person not in good physical health. If a walk's rating falls between two of these ratings, a "+" would be added to the lower number. If there is a question regarding your physical capabilities, your own physician should be consulted for attempting a walk. |
