To begin a new hike page:

• Log in to the Field Guide with your user name and password.
• Find a hike that you can use as a template. Criteria should include: a hike in the same general area; also something that was created in the past four or five years (See the History link).
• Click on the Edit link at the top of the page.
• Copy the entire html content from the dialog box.
• Type the new hike name in the Search Field Guide field. All hike names need to have a suffix, e.g. 'Hike', 'Loop Hike', 'Traverse Hike' (one-way or shuttle hikes), 'Snowshoe Hike', 'Add-on Hike' (hikes that are optional extensions to an existing hike). Hike names can always be changed later using the Move link.
• When you click Go, a page will come up with existing possibilities. Check the list in case your hike already exists under a different name. Otherwise, click on the link to your new hike after Create the page.
• Paste the html content from your template hike into the blank dialog box and begin working! Save frequently or you might lose content.

The Hike page has several components and sections:

• [[#Categories_Area|Categories]]
• Hike Description
• Fees, Regulations, Facilities
• Maps
• Trip Reports
• Related Discussions/ Q & A
• Guidebooks
• More Links
• Contributors
• Images
