      1. The visualizations presented here are estimations only and are:

        • Not real-time

      2. They're projections based on 15 years of self-reported data and do not necessarily represent trail activity for the current year

        • Relative in intensity

        • The heat signatures show the density of hikers relative to other locations on the trail for that day only

      3. In other words, they represent percentages rather than absolute numbers

        • Not to scale

      4. The heat signatures appear wider than the actual trail to aid in visibility; they don't represent the literal physical area occupied by hikers
