Dave, What’s interesting in that rating system is the fact that “less than two miles’ from parking is rated a 2. I’d agree with that as well, if the terrain is otherwise easy movement. Yet, I’ve had complaints from people on something that ends up being a little over a half mile on flat terrain. We rated that a 2. Like becca said….all relative, I guess.
Gwen, I wouldn’t worry too much about terrain complaints. My thoughts are that we should usually err on the high side, only to avoid getting people in over their head. If people want quick numbers runs, they can always run their queries to limit by terrain < 2. When I go with Julie, I always limit terrain to be 2.5 or less, as she is still balking a bit on rough scrambles and such.
