Template:Infobox Trail

This is the 'Infobox Trail' template. This template creates the 'sidebar' with info about each trail like the state, nearest city, nearest medical, coordinates of the tail head. If not used, entries marked "Optional" should be least blank (no '*') in the usage to avoid erroneous data connections. Lines marked "OBSOLETE" are not to be used and should be deleted in the usage if updating a trail page. They are left here for backward compatibility and will be removed once the conversion is complete.

It should be called in the following format:
