Assessment And selection of geotrails proposed geopark of West Khorasan Razavi

Geotrail or geological trails are the best hiking trails or rides to access geoheritage and geomorphologic sites for tourism. geosites usually are dispersed and those located in the hilly mountainous, forest or rocky shores, it is not possible to easily access them. In contrast, geosites located in low and low slopes, visited and reviewed widely for reasons such as scientific research activities. In order to introduce a geopark, in addition to evaluating geosites ,should be evaluated geotrails. The proposed geopark of the West of Khorasan Razavi is one of the areas that can be introduced as the national geopark or internationally.For this purpose, documents and maps and data are required to be collected then it has been paid to prepare maps and numerical analyzes using software such as GIS, Envi and google earth. Considering the effect of communication roads in tourism development, the parameter is the distance from the road to study the performance of the region's communication roads in the development of proposed geopark tourism and their digital layers are drawn.At geopark there are 2984 kilometers of proposed geopark that the share of each square kilometer is 701 meters. 42.9% of proposed geopark roads are grade 1 and 2 asphalt. Three paths with 80 km long are drawn up for motorcycling and two trails with 25 km long, for georafting. In geopark, three trails are proposed and mapped for 122km long riding camel in desert areas and 80 km long geobike along the Haram-to- Haram transit road.
