A "Trail Guide" is a resource or person that provides information about hiking trails, including their difficulty, length, and points of interest. Trail guides can be found in books, online platforms, or as apps, helping hikers plan their outdoor adventures. They often include maps, safety tips, and details about the local flora and fauna. In addition to written guides, a trail guide can also refer to a professional who leads groups on hiking excursions. These guides are knowledgeable about the terrain and can enhance the experience by sharing insights about the environment, ensuring safety, and helping hikers navigate challenging paths.
