The data behind this site

Every scraper here commits its output, and these are those exact files at stable URLs. They are mirrors: byte-for-byte what the site itself reads, with no wrapper object and no reshaping, because a mirror that quietly differs from its source is worse than no mirror at all.

What these are and are not

These are readings, not authorities. Each one names the upstream it came from and the time it was read, and where the two disagree the upstream is right. Nothing here is hand-typed except the cruise seasonality seed, which carries its own source and the date it was checked.

If a figure matters to a decision — whether a trail is open, whether a road is shut — check the source as well. Every dataset above links to it.
