I project I completed in Introduction to Data Science (SDS 192). Using dplyr with spatial data techniques to determine difficulty of trails at MacLeish field station, near Smith College. Used ggplot to create a graph and leaflet to make an interactive map.
create a graph that shows the relationship between each trail's distance and its change in elevation.
arrange and decorate the graph to make it look better and easy to understand.
filter out all the not-hiking trail roads.
double-check how elevation is calculated in the original.
create a new elevation_change column as the original one is a little bit misleading.
convert distance into miles.
clearly unnecessary variables.
