There’s no trip type for a simple multi-day backpack trip (i.e., that might piece together multiple trails or might include both trail and off-trail)?

Todd – that’s kind of the default for most trips. The other trip type tags are meant to add nuance as needed.

Okay…  So I’m supposed to pick “All trip types” from the dropdown list?  Seems like there ought to be a simple Backpacking or Multi-day hiking option.

Also, it seems a little odd that there’s one option that gives only the length of the trip (Day trip).  Could be hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing, hunting, fishing, etc.  I’m guessing that one’s meant to be Day hiking?

Todd, we added some helper text to the “post new trip report” form to help clarify:

Most trips are multi-day backpacking by default. If your trip is different – or can be characterized with additional attributes – add one or more of the following tags:

Does that make sense?

Yes, that helps.
