The hike’s numerical rating is then tied to one of five descriptors: Easy, Easy+, Moderate, Advanced, Difficult.
- Easy:
Numerical Rating: less than 50
A hike that is generally suitable for anyone who enjoys walking. Mostly level or with a slight incline. Generally about 5 to 6 Km.
- Easy+:
Numerical Rating: 50-100
An easy+ hike is generally suitable for novice hikers who want a bit of a challenge. The terrain will involve a moderate incline and may have some steeper sections. Generally 6 to 8 Km.
- Moderate:
Numerical Rating: 100–150
Moderate hikes will generally be challenging for an unconditioned person. The terrain will involve a steady and often steep incline. Generally 8 to 13 Km.
- Advanced/Difficult:
Numerical Rating: 150-200 or more (Depending on Elevation Gain)
Difficult hikes will challenge most hikers. The hike will generally be longer and steeper, but may be deemed “Strenuous” because of the elevation gain. Generally 18 Km and up.
