Loop hikes are those hikes where a significant portion of the trail can be completed without repeating large sections in the reverse.  
'''Loop''' hikes are those hikes where a significant portion, at least half of the trail, can be completed without repeating large sections in the reverse. Additionally, the Loop hike begins near a parking location.


A segment is a trail portion that is part of a larger network and wouldn't normally be hiked without connecting with other trails. A prime example of segment trails is the [[Bays Mountain Park]] trail network.  
A '''Segment''' is a trail that cannot be reached without hiking on a different trail to reach the trail head. Typically part of a larger network, a prime example of segment trails is the [[Bays Mountain Park]] trail network.  


Out-n-back are those trails where a majority of the trail must be repeated in the reverse to return to the trail head. Most waterfall hikes tend to be out-n-back.
'''In-and-Out''' are trails that begin near a parking location and more than half must be repeated to return to the trail head (i.e. not a Loop and not a Segment).
 
Although a '''Segment Loop''' could exist, we are not aware of any at this time.

This is a property of type Text. It is used to hold the choice of Loop / Segment / In-and-Out to signify roughly the trail type.

Loop hikes are those hikes where a significant portion, at least half of the trail, can be completed without repeating large sections in the reverse. Additionally, the Loop hike begins near a parking location.

A Segment is a trail that cannot be reached without hiking on a different trail to reach the trail head. Typically part of a larger network, a prime example of segment trails is the Bays Mountain Park trail network.

In-and-Out are trails that begin near a parking location and more than half must be repeated to return to the trail head (i.e. not a Loop and not a Segment).

Although a Segment Loop could exist, we are not aware of any at this time.
