Feature and Session Observation

Form · Effective 7 November 2026 · Revised 7 November 2026 · Current blank. Replaces the surface-and-moisture edition.

Use this form to note a feature, a ride, or a session for your own record. Completing it does not notify the Authority, a land manager, or emergency services. If someone is hurt, use the local emergency number. This page is the wrong instrument.

With scripting, the button compiles a copy in this browser. Without scripting, fill in the fields and print the page. Either way, the words stay on your machine. Do not use the location line to publish an undesignated trail. A name you and your friends already use is enough.

Form 01 — observation Where, in terms you already use A sector nickname is enough. Do not enter directions, a pin, or a home address. Category What the session was Who was there if they would not mind the note, whether the feature was left alone, and whether anyone got faster. Maximum 1,200 characters. Leave out medical details and anyone's full name. Photograph note Optional. A filename kept on your own device. Do not describe a place a stranger could find. The picture is not uploaded. I understand this form is not monitored and does not notify emergency services, a land manager, or the public feed.
