Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the trail deterioration condition and to obtain the information for the desirable maintenance and restoration of trail in national parks. The results obtained from this study were summarized as follows; The physical characteristics of trail were surveyed at the total 778 point for 204.5 km in length. As a result, the average degree of trail was $14.6^{\circ}$, average trail width was 1.5m and average bared trail width was 1.1 m. Major deterioration types of trail were trail deepen (37%), root exposed, widen, diverged, rock exposed and slope erosion in order of frequency. Deterioration class of trail were that non-deterioration was 165.34 km (80.9%), heavy class was 9.08 km, middle class was 12.69 km and light class was 17.39 km and the deterioration rate was 19.1%.
