Shape
Lollipop. You hike out, go around a loop, then return the way you came. (A more complicated lollipop can mix several loops and out-and-backs.)
Surface
Mostly natural surface, with some paved sections
Difficulty
Challenging. A route is rated by its most difficult section. Routes marked CHALLENGING have at least one section with rocks or roots packed so closely, or set at such an angle, that there's no flat place to set your foot; rocks a foot high or more that take a big step up to climb over; obstacles so frequent that you have to watch every step; or very steep stretches of trail. These sections are often short, but they call for steady footing and close attention. See examples of challenging trails
