Moderate. A route is rated by its most difficult section. Routes marked MODERATE have at least one section where the trail gets narrower, the edge drops off to one side, or a rock or root now and then means stepping over it. You can still find flat footing for most steps, but you'll want to keep an eye on the trail ahead. See examples of moderate trails
