Totally agree. If someone did this for Pittsburgh, I'm sure lots of responses would point to the trails in the well-known parks (Schenley, Frick, Highland), especially if the prompt mentioned kids. But if someone put in "off the beaten path" or indicated they wanted a more challenging hike, they could potentially be guided to a place with a much higher danger rating - especially if the person was unfamiliar with the city and going out alone.
Great article, as always!
Thank you, Helen! This one's been brewing hard for the last few months.
