I'm wondering about the reasons for converting these trails to highway=bridleway. Based on my understanding of OSM trail tagging they should probably be highway=path. I checked the NPS gis database for a few of these trails, they have Hiker/Pedestrian as the intended trail use. I have also hiked several of these trails, and have not seen horses on them, though they are definitely built to horse standards, though so is basically every trail in YNP.

This is in a national park. You can't camp where ever you want. Mapping a game trail you can see from satellite imagery is not the right thing to be doing. I will be deleting all of the recent trails you have added in yellowstone that do not appear on official NPS maps.

I can not find this trail on any other map, and in satellite imagery it does not appear to be a trail. I have deleted it.

It seems very unlikely that there would actually be 2 trails here. If the trail has been rerouted, then the original way should be modified. If this is simply a spot that someone once detoured off the trail then it does not belong on the map.

I would appreciate it if you could reply to one of my comments, or send me a message. Because im seeing many changesets from you in the past 24 hours that seem incorrect, but i dont want to just revert all of them without understanding what is going on.

None of these new trails you have added in this area appear on any other map i can find? What is your source for them? If they are just lines you are seeing in satellite images, they do not belong on the map as trails.

What is the source for these trails? It seems very odd that there would be 3 parallel trails like this.

This name seems like a typo. Are you sure its not wolverine creek?

Please remember when adding elevations in OSM they are always in meters, not feet.

Adding " campsite" on the spur trails to campsites is probably not necessary. It's not how i would expect to see those trails labeled on official NPS maps, or on commercial maps.

Are you planning on changing all highway=path in Yellowstone to highway=footway?

Several of the trails you added "(horse trail)" to the name of are tagged as highway=bridleway. This tag means a trail that is specifically meant for horses. If maps.me is not showing that, you should bring that up with the developers of maps.me.

Sorry, i dont argue on the internet.

You have left several ways with no tags in this changeset. If these trails do no exist they should be deleted instead of leaving them with no tags.
And again, adding "(horse trail)" is not the correct way to mark a trail as being meant for horses. and adding "9horse trail)" to the name looks even worse. I have reverted the name changes.

99538516

I understand that you are trying to make maps.me better, but OSM has accepted ways of adding access restrictions to trails, and putting them in names is not the right way.

I have reverted added horse trail to these names.

99542282

I understand that you are trying to make maps.me better, but openstreetmap has accepted ways of doing things, and adding access restrictions in road names is not the right way. There is also no excuse for making spelling mistakes in road names and refusing to fix them.

I have fixed all the name errors from this edit.

99538516

Instead of adding "(horse trail)" to the name, the correct thing to do is add a horse=yes or horse=designated tag.

99542282

Thanks for the edit! You may want to check where you are getting your road names from, because several of these names have typos. The roads with "(private)" in the name should be tagged access=private and not have private in the name.
I'm also a little skeptical of the "Canyon Campground route" name, I dont know for sure that it's wrong, but i dont think i've seen any other roads in yellowstone with similar names.

If you are going to be bulk changing trails from highway=path to highway=footway, you should probably also be adding horse=yes to them, as most of these trails allow horses, but many applications assume horses are not allowed on highway=footway.

The boundary=national_park tag on the inholdings is incorrect, it causes the individual polygons to be treated as parks themselves. They should not have any tags, but only need to be part of the relation for the forest with role=inner.

Hello,
I have received complaints that several of the trails in this changeset are on private land, and have no public access. The trails in question are at osm.org/#map=19/49.10286/-116.49937
One of my colleagues has marked these trails as access=no, but the land owner would like these trails removed from OSM completely. What do you think about removing these trails?
Thanks,
Jesse Crocker
