For the SNAP 500, which at its purest includes all trails, fire roads, and horse trails listed in the PATC Shenandoah National Park Guidebook AND on the backs of the 3 PATC maps for the Park, here is the Excel table (I assume that's how SNP got their figure of "over 500 miles of trails" in their brochure).

Having hiked almost all of them now, I would recommend eliminating some of them (Gas Pipeline Road and Indian Run Maintenance Hut Road in South District; Tanners Ridge Administrative Road in Central District for example). I would not eliminate all the fire roads and horse trails (anything not maintained by PATC, in other words) because they provide much needed access in winter when the Drive is closed and because they often connect trails together. More on this in a future posting.
