Attaching Trail Markers
HOW MANY MARKERS PER TRAIL?
A good way to figure the number of markers for each trail is to base the amount on 20 markers per half-mile for both directions. More may be needed if the trail is new or has many bends or switchbacks in an area. Consider using 10 markers per half-mile if the trails are well worn. This will still give enough along the trail for visitors to know which trail they are on and how far on the trail they are.
Extra markers on a trail serve as reminders of which trail the visitor is hiking should they need any assistance that requires locating the person/s.
The markers have two holes for attaching along the trail. This helps keep theft of the markers lower. We suggest using 2.5” aluminum ring roofing nails. These nails are toothed to help prevent the nail from backing out.
If a tree should fall and need cut a chain saw will have no problem cutting thru the nails with little worry of dulling the chain.
You may want to consider 3 1/2″ star bit screws. These have the advantage of being let out to allow for the growth of the tree.
We suggest placing the trail markers at 7′ high. This is very visible from the trail upon approach and makes it more difficult for them to be tampered with.
Tools are provided to help prevent damage to the markers when being attached. The tools also give a 1/8” gap for the tree to grow without pushing the marker off. Tools can be combined to give a 1/4” gap.
Souvenirs
Souvenir Items
Park Visitors Like Souvenirs!!
Markers on the trails cost money. The Souvenir Markers can pay for themselves as well as the markers on the trails and generate revenue.
Souvenir Markers are magnetic and that makes them great for refrigerator memories. These are slightly smaller at 3 inches tall to reduce cost and to increase profit for the park.
A variety of different souvenir items are being designed in addition to the magnet markers. Souvenir items like Marker Keychains, Hiker Markers, Stickers, Keychains, and more are available.
NOTE: Some items may not be available at some point but new items are being designed continually.
