→Section Evaluation
==Section Evaluation==
The four hikers that first completed most of the trail (Bethany Hughes and Lauren Reed from [https://her-odyssey.org/meet-the-team/ Her-Odyssey], my wife Meylin Ubilla and me the author) have evaluated each section in respect of attractiveness and difficulty. This evaluation only compares the 40 sections between each other (relative comparison) and is no attempt to compare the GPT with other trails.
The entire trail is divided into 40 sections. This evaluation only compares the 40 sections between each other (relative comparison) and is no attempt to compare the GPT with other trails. Two grades from 1 to 5 are given to each section, one grade for attractiveness and one grade for difficulty or challenge. The 5 stands for the most attractive or the most difficult category. The grades were choose in a way that the average over all hiking sections is a precise 3. For sections with a substantial packrafting proportion an additional packrafting grading is given, that is relative to the hiking scale of the same section to facilitate a comparison if hiking and packrafting a section where both is possible.
