Where the slope figures come from, and how the section breaks down
90.0% of this section is at or below a 5% running slope. About 1195 ft is steeper, reaching 18.1% at its worst. Modelled from USGS 3DEP elevation along the traced alignment — not measured on site.
Modelled from USGS 3DEP elevation, sampled every 25 m along the traced alignment. Terrain, not tread.
Slope figures modelled from USGS 3DEP elevation sampled at 25 m along the traced alignment. The trail is not built; these are terrain estimates, not as-built measurements.

What step-free means here, and why it is not assessed
Nothing on this section has been built, so nothing has been measured on the ground. A step-free answer needs a finished tread, a finished cross slope and a finished surface, and none of the three exists yet.
