When I go on the path under the gondola (and end up with the head bleeder at the end) the messaging is very similar to being on a trail, as are the other restrictions on what I can do. The two differences seem to be that 1) I can't take anyone with me, and 2) I can hear the gweth.
I've often wondered how that path was set up vs how trails are set up and why that path was not done as a trail to begin with.
