Alpine Trailhead starts from the mountain valley template, names 33 things to use (19 from the library, 14 built-in), lays them out in 72 lines, gives 9 groups something to do in 12 life lines and frames 4 views.
a Rocky Mountain trailhead on a bright morning: a glacial lake under a waterfall at the back, a stream running east out of the lake under a plank footbridge, a log cabin with smoke above the stream, the ranger station and the gravel lot up front where the trail starts, a campground on the lake's south-west shore, elk grazing the flower meadow, a moose wading the shallows, a bear at the forest edge, marmots on the granite and bighorns on the ledges, hikers on the trail, peaks all round

life
Sends hikersN along the path trailN at 0.8 m/s, there and back again, spread out along it.
Lets visitors wander the area lot at about 0.6 m/s, pausing 2–6 s between walks. They steer round what is placed there.
Lets herd wander the area meadow at about 0.5 m/s, pausing 3–8 s between walks, playing walk while they move. They steer round what is placed there.
Every 5–9 s, each of herd plays graze for 3 s, then rests. Each one keeps its own clock, so they never fire together.
Lets moose wander the area shore at about 0.4 m/s, pausing 4–10 s between walks, playing walk while they move. They steer round what is placed there.
Every 7–12 s, each of moose plays graze for 3 s, then rests. Each one keeps its own clock, so they never fire together.
Lets bear wander the area bearwood at about 0.5 m/s, pausing 2–6 s between walks, playing walk while they move. They steer round what is placed there.
Every 5–9 s, each of bear plays sniff for 2.5 s, then rests. Each one keeps its own clock, so they never fire together.
Every 3–7 s, each of marmots plays peek for 3 s, then rests. Each one keeps its own clock, so they never fire together.
Lets paddlers wander the area lake at about 0.25 m/s, pausing 6–14 s between walks. They steer round what is placed there.
Turns ranger to face the camera, wherever it goes.
One light, #ffb070, on top of everything in fire, 0.6 m above each, reaching 5 m, flickering. If one of them moves, its light goes with it.
Where the viewer opens: the camera orbits (0, −6) from 72 m out and 27 m up.
A named camera, lake. It looks at (−12, −15) 1 m up, from 27 m away and 11 m higher, standing at (−20.34, 10.68). The viewer's dock gets a button for it.
A named camera, campground. It looks at (−19, 5) 1 m up, from 15 m away and 6.5 m higher, standing at (−10.4, 17.29). The viewer's dock gets a button for it.
A named camera, waterfall. It looks at (−12, −24) 4 m up, from 24 m away and 5 m higher, standing at (−7.01, −0.52). The viewer's dock gets a button for it.
A named camera, trailhead. It looks at (15, 18) 1.5 m up, from 19 m away and 7.5 m higher, standing at (2.79, 32.55). The viewer's dock gets a button for it.
