[pct-l] Trails on Map Quest

The National Forests are in the Department of Agriculture, not the
Department of Interior.

I have been using Map Quest to route myself up to Florence Lake for a trip
into Kings Canyon National Park and up to Muir Pass.  I find it interesting
that the PCT is clearly indicated on National Forest land but not in the
National Parks.  I am assuming that each agency must have different
regulations concerning the release of trail information.  This seems strange
to me as they are both part of the Department of the Interior.  Does anyone
know any more about this?  Oh, don't get me wrong, I also have quite a
number of more detailed paper maps that I also use.
