For the past few months I have been volunteering with OpenStreetMap (OSM) US' Trails Stewardship Initiative, which has been focused on southern UT. For those that aren't familiar with OSM, it's a nonprofit that hosts a crowdsourced, worldwide mapping platform. OSM's data feeds many trail apps, including CalTopo, Gaia, OnX, and AllTrails. The Trails Stewardship Initiative is a partnership between OSM, land management agencies, trail app developers, and volunteers to clarify official trails and trail access, and to improve trail routing and attributes with the aim of:
To better inform our efforts, I put together a short (5-10 min) survey on risk management for trailless routes. If you are interested in participating, here's the link.
