Trailhead Tagline Draft

• Run split tests to compare sign wording against panel placement.
• Study walking paths to find where visitors hesitate or double back.
• Use footfall counts and dwell time to see how people read each panel.
• Track trail closures and seasonal reroutes so every panel keeps pointing walkers at a route that is actually open.
