How the route order was checked

The source Sugarbowl trail and Highway16 share the exact same OSM node5242159122, establishing the trail entrance. Source vertex221 is9m from the independently named Sugarbowl Mountain peak, corroborated by the official summit waypoint. The source chain continues east from that peak into the Viking connection; that entire extra continuation is removed for the summit return itinerary. The descent retraces the retained ascent.
