Estimated distances are way off for me, but it did find some things. Searching for hikes in the Catskills was a disaster but the Catskills are strange and obscure, and a "well developed" trail in the Catskills can be like bushwhacking in most places.

'Estimated distances are way off for me' can you elaborate? I'll surely look into this or at least try to make the results make more sense based on your search :)

It could be a misunderstanding on my part. I thought the distances were distances from my location, maybe they were the length of the hike, which would have made more sense. My search was "Brooktondale, NY"

Oh gotcha, yep those are the lengths of the trails, but I can see why you would be confused. If I add a 'distance from' label for each trail when searching via nearby/radius, it probably be less confusing. This feedback is really helpful though thanks a lot!
