Welcome! I agree with Nanno. The way I go about picking trails is getting a map of the location I want to go, and finding trails where stock are allowed and planning my route that way. We were also fortunate in that my significant other worked for the feds - forest service and was buddies with the ranger, he got to ask all sorts of questions.
Today we stroll the neighborhood, someday we'll climb mountains together..
