Experience & practicality

Two transparent read-time scores. Unknown facts never count for or against a place, and a score is never used as filter evidence.

Experience

Published recreation and setting.

4.7/ 10

Documented depth: 7.5 of 16 evidence weight, from 4 published facts. A low number means little is published, not that the place is poor.

Why

Hiking
Mountain biking
OHV riding
Horseback riding

Practicality

Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.

4.7/ 10

100% of the 4 published facts are positive, scaled by how much is documented (47% of the 16-weight target). Thin data coverage · 23 still unpublished. A thin record reads low because little is published, not because the place is poor.

Why

Camping is published as allowed
Cell service
Cost is published
No reservation required

Fully supported: both dimensions earned a score from 8 published facts.

Methodology nmr-score-3.0.0. Park-level activities feed Experience only; campsite facts feed Practicality only. Experience measures how much recreation and setting evidence is published; Practicality is the published positive share scaled by how much of the logistics catalogue has been documented, so a handful of positives can no longer read 10/10. Unknown is never treated as a no. Neither dimension is used to filter search results, and “Best” ordering ranks fully supported records above partially supported ones.
