For most users the trail serves of a haven of wildness for a day, a weekend 
or maybe a season, a respite from an increasingly civilized life.

      For others who take the Trail as an institution or cause it is more

development coming at it from all sides. A hiking trail runs through it, but 
that's what it's running through...
