Trail description
{
"elevation_correction": "Change 'East Kennebago Mountain rises to 3,791 feet' - KEEP AS IS. This is correct per web sources.",
"trail_type_correction": "Add clarification after first paragraph: 'This is a bushwhacking route with no maintained trail after the initial AVT trail section. The route follows old four-wheeler tracks and occasional cairn markings rather than traditional blazed trails.'",
"distance_correction": "Change 'The 8-kilometer round-trip hike' to 'The approximately 8-kilometer round-trip hike' (sources vary: some cite 4 miles from parking to summit, others cite 11.5 miles out-and-back, suggesting variable starting points).",
"location_correction": "Change 'off Route 16 near Stratton' to 'ten miles east of Rangeley on Route 16' per official Rangeley source.",
"trailhead_correction": "Add: 'Look for the snowmobile trail sign post which marks the official trailhead.'",
"fire_tower_removal": "Remove reference to 'fire tower at the summit' - no web sources confirm this exists. Remove the phrase about fire tower views."
