Losing the trail can easily occur, even with the experienced hiker. Contributing
factors include:
· A rocky or sandy area (the trail is hard to see; it takes
a sharp turn but you forge straight ahead)
· Following a false trail made by
other lost souls
· Mistaking a drainage ditch at a switchback for the real
trail
· Snow on the trail
· Detouring around windfalls (downed trees) or
around a bad stream crossing
· An inadequate map
· Out after dark
with/without a light
· Going off trail to find a photo op
· Deliberately
trying for a shortcut (shortcut a switchback, only to have the trail turn the
other way).
