Database of NW Overland Destinations?
Is there a database of NW overland destinations that anyone knows about? I’m thinking something that can be referenced when someone is looking for something new to experience.
If not, I’m willing try to get something together, I can post a KML file that people can open in Google Earth.
I’d like to use the “Mitchell Scale” https://trackandtrailpublications.com/the-mitchell-scale/ as it seems to me to break out the difficulty well in meaningful ways.
If you know of good destinations (views, lakes, dispersed campsites, fire lookouts, etc.) please share the location, what is there, and your evaluation of the trail to get there. If there is interest, I can try to get a form setup to submit the details and host a link to keep the file updated.

My vision was more the destinations than the routes. Half the fun for me is discovering the route for myself, but it would be nice to know that I can get there, and what I have to look forward to when I get there. I would be more likely to get out with a target than if I randomly pick somewhere (which can be fun too, but more "risk").
I figured tracks would mostly be for things like the WABDR where it is not really a point type destination, but the trail itself.
In addition, like Jesse brought up, I hear things "Douglas Creek" and see what looks like some cool pieces of trail, but that does not give me enough information to determine if it is an appropriate trail for me or where I should aim to go among the roads in the area.
