Help me find the Trail Use data app that used Trailforks????

I swear I saw it linked here. It used Trailforks to compile use data. You could select specific trails or regions.

Am I crazy, was it a dream?

Are thinking GAIA? Both are owned by Outside.

No, this was a third-party thing with some economic impact tools you could associate with the trail users and whatnot.

Gotcha. I’d be curious about what you find.

This is useful but not it. Thanks for linking this though.

man - you've sent me down a rabbit hole! You can mine TF by region for data and export as a csv: https://www.trailforks.com/tools/tra...heet/?rid=5489

and then there's this cool article on bias and precision of crowdsourced data: https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...69204623000051

and if this was just a fever dream and not an app or report, I'm looking for ideas for my masters thesis and might run with this!

The more I think about it, it may have been on my work facebook feed... The economic impact component was highlighted, but the most useful part for me was the easiness of getting the number of trail users and unique trail users within a given time period. It was more of a website or widget than app.
