Template:Trail

This is the 'Trail' template. It is expected to be typically used by the Form Trail.

This template creates the 'sidebar' with info about each trail like the state, nearest city, coordinates of the tail head. If not used, entries marked "Optional" should be left blank (no '*') in the usage to avoid erroneous data connections.

It should be called in the following format:

{{Infobox Trail
 | Trail Number = Optional - Typically a Forest Service Trail #
