Could we also add electronic pictures of what various areas at the rides
look like? For example, the base camp, trail head, particularly
difficult areas of the trail, etc.? That would help alot as well. I
know my horse's capabilities on the trail, but without ever seeing some
of these trails, it makes it difficult to prepare for them.
