This is really a moot point, but here we go anyway.
Hiking trails draw tourist dollars to the communities through which they run. Tourist dollars equal spending that directly affects taxes collected (sales taxes) that would not normally be available; it is excess to the local tax base. Using tax dollars on hiking trails creates jobs, increases revenue for local businesses, and generates taxes to replace what has been used to build and maintain the trails.
It is an investment with return, not a deficit.
Hiking shoes are designed for walking on rough terrain and may not provide enough support and cushioning for running on trails. It is recommended to use trail running shoes specifically designed for running to prevent injuries and ensure comfort.
The national trail difficulty rating system is used to classify the level of difficulty of hiking trails, helping hikers choose trails that match their skill and fitness levels.
The type of shoe you use to hike depends on the terrain that you will be on. A hiking sandal would be good for water crossing or for groomed trails. Hiking boots would be good for off-trail hikes. There is more information about this on http://www.hikingdude.com/hiking-boots.shtml
The trail difficulty rating system is used to assess the level of challenge on hiking trails. It helps hikers understand the terrain, elevation changes, and overall difficulty of a trail before embarking on it. The ratings typically range from easy to difficult, with factors such as steepness, terrain, and distance taken into consideration.
Hiking itself is an activity and not a resource; however, it relies on natural resources. The trails and natural areas used for hiking can be considered renewable resources if managed sustainably, as they can regenerate over time. In contrast, nonrenewable resources, like fossil fuels or minerals, are not directly related to hiking but are often used in the development and maintenance of infrastructure associated with outdoor activities. Therefore, while hiking promotes the use of renewable resources, it does not involve nonrenewable resources directly.
yes it can be used for hiking if you remove it from your car and use it by hand. you should be able to position yourself on the map easily if you have enough battery to keep it running

Runyon Canyon Park can be found in Los Angeles (LA). It is a great in dimensions area and very well known for the numerous hiking trails along it. It used to be private but in 1984 it was sold and became a city park.
Yes they do! I go up north every summer to enjoy the beautiful hiking trails and waterfalls....they are everywhere! Especially when you are on a nature walk through a hiking trail on the way to a waterfall....they are not scared of humans like in southern michigan, they are so used to them that they will scurry right up to you and greet you! It's so cute

A compass should be considered essential hiking gear and no pack is complete without one. While hiking, even on well marked trails, one can wander off and become lost. These days a GPS or even many smart phones with GPS can be used to locate yourself and find your way home. Unfortunately though, electronics can fail or break and batteries can die. A good compass will always work. Of course you should also have a map of the area you are hiking in, so the compass can be used to triangulate your position. Yet even without a map a compass will still have many valuable uses; most important among them is keeping you walking in a straight line as all humans have a tendency to walk in circle without knowing it.
