Note On Trail Popularity:

The most popular features differ across parks because all parks have different terrain and natural features, as well as different 'highlights' or unique features only found in that park, such as geothermal features in Yellowstone! However, for most parks, trails that were accessibility-friendly, child friendly, and fully or partially paved have the highest average popularity. .

Additionally, the average popularity of trails with common features, such as scenic views, may be lower or average simply because there are many trails with that attribute.
