Trail description

Clarifier qu'il existe plusieurs sentiers distincts : le sentier facile de 3.2 km (source confirmée) et une boucle de 7.9 km modérément difficile (source confirmée). Le contenu actuel ne distingue pas clairement ces routes. Supprimer les références vagues aux « Rocky Mountains canadiennes » - Peace River est en Alberta mais NOT dans les Rocheuses géographiquement. Mettre l'accent sur Peace Country comme région.
