{
"intro_paragraph": "Update: Change '6.4 km' to '8 km loop'; change 'hard-difficulty' to 'moderate-difficulty'; change '2.5 hours' to '2.5 to 4 hours'; remove or substantially reduce emphasis on elevation as a challenge factor since the terrain is prairie-based with minimal elevation change.",
"spirit_sands_section": "Keep as-is. Descriptions of sand dunes up to 30m high, ecosystem, and navigation challenges remain accurate.",
"trail_network_section": "CORRECTION NEEDED: The content references 'Epinette Creek Trail' and 'Devil's Punch Bowl Trail' as separate entities. Web sources confirm Devil's Punch Bowl exists and is part of the Spirit Sands loop. However, 'Epinette Creek Trail' is not confirmed in web results. Replace with confirmed trails: Seton Trails (4.8 km), Sleeping Wolf Chaska (4.0 km), Snowy Owl (2.9 km) from official Manitoba Parks map, or remove unverified trail references and focus on Spirit Sands/Devil's Punch Bowl loop which IS confirmed.",
"wildlife_section": "Keep as-is, but add confirmation from web sources: specifically mention Prairie Skink (Manitoba's only lizard) and various snakes as documented in AllTrails source.",
"facilities_section": "Keep as-is. No contradictions found with web sources.",
"seasonal_section": "Keep as-is. No contradictions found with web sources."
