A trail seeks out all the beauty spots and, like a great character, finds only that which is the best.

"The trail is the passage to nature's wonderland.  With all its curves and windings it is essentially poetic; it knows the beauty of flowing lines; it is ever in the midst of those things that charm and cheer.  It seeks out all the beauty spots and, like a great character, finds only that which is the best."
