"Trails" Page - Add a Table or Matrix

I think it would be very helpful / useful if the "Trails" page had some detail other than just the name of the trail.  Maybe a table (matrix) with the following:

- Name of trail (or location)
- city, state, general location
- number of trails or legs
- total trail length (12 miles)
- difficulty (easy, intermediate, expert, mixed)
- one line description (urban bike path, single track, killer hills, etc.)

Imagine being new to the site and having never heard of any of the local trails.  You must click on every link then hit "Back", etc. just to find out a trail is no where nearby.

Thanks!!

Click on the trail name it gives you a lot of the information you are looking for.

I think the google map addresses the last point of the original post.

Yes, I know you can click on any of the trail names to get to the details page.  My point was a  top level Trails page with just a bit more detail on it.  Adding miles, #of trails and city/state will narrow down the couple detail pages you need to visit.

Yes the interactive map is great.  I see it is on both the Home page as well as the Trails page.  One suggestion on this map.  Add "CLICK ON MAP" just below the map.  At first look some may not realize it's a link.

Even with the interactive map... I still think it would be useful to include the city/state/general location of each trail... at the top-level Trails page.
