Have you ever hiked in idaho? They barely maintain any of the trails other than a few that are highly trafficked. The main usage of wild areas in idaho is by boomers on their 50k off road golf carts.The USFS trail maps have not been updated since 2016 and even then I imagine a ton of the trails on those maps were already completely overgrown and unmaintained. I don't mind mostly cause if I know a trail in unmaintained it means I am probably not going to see anyone and it is more of an adventure but hiking through the many many burns of idaho wilderness areas is pretty miserable when they have not been maintained. No shade and 1000s of downed trees everywhere. It was really ambitious of the forest service back in the day to cut so many trails into the wild areas of the country then to only let them all go to shit. It is cool being on some long disused trail you can barely distinguish and coming upon the remains of old trailwork water bars or bridges or stone work.
