length	Length of trail, no auto-conversion. Use if you want to add more words or citation to length.
location	Location of the trail including park, state, county or region where appropriate and country.
trailheads	where trail begins and ends
use	always include at least hiking or cycling or ...
photo	Photo of the area around the trail. Specify as filename.jpg, no need for "File:". Please use a high-resolution original (at least 300 pixels wide).

highest_ft
highest_name	Name of highest point in trail (for use with highest_ft or highest_m)
highest	Free field for highest point in trail, use when citations is needed
lowest_m	Similar to highest_ etc., except describing the lowest point of the trail
lowest_ft
lowest_name
lowest
grade	The grade in percent, typical with former railroad right-of-ways
difficulty	The difficulty of the trail for a typical healthy person based on a reliable source

Embed inside another infobox

The trail infobox can be embedded inside another infobox for seamless display of info. For example, a trail that is also a protected area, such as the Kal-Haven Trail. See the testcases for more examples.

Inserting the trail infobox inside the parent infobox

The trail infobox can only be inserted after certain field values of the parent template. Specifically, only after fields whose values are not passed to another template by the parent templates source code. In other words, the parent templates source code for the field has to output the fields' value without passing it to a template. This may require examining the parent templates source code. It is ok to insert after field values that contain internal [[]] and external links [].
Example:

{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;"
|-
|{{Infobox protected area
| name = Kal-Haven Trail
...
| governing_body = <div>[[Michigan Department of Natural Resources]]</div>
{{Infobox trail
  | embed = yes
  | cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em;
  | name = Kal-Haven Trail
  | length = {{convert|34.5|mi|km|1}}
...
  }}
}}
|}

Note the <div> tag surrounding the governing_body wiki link. It is needed to reduce the vertical spacing between the governing_body field and the first hiking trail field, in this case, length.

Parent infobox encapsulation

The parent infobox needs to be encapsulated in a table as in the above example.

{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;"
|-
|(parent infobox)
|}

Parameters

Field name	Description
`embed`	Set to `embed = yes` when embedding inside another Infobox.
`cellstyle`	Set to a class/style that matches the outer Infoboxes cell class/style so that the columns line up properly. Example for using with {{Infobox protected area}}: `cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em;`
`title`	A first colored header before the main infobox, used when embedded, to show the trail name
