Sourced, not scraped

Every fact on Waterfall Scout — coordinates, height, trail length, fee, dogs, swimming — comes from the official National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, state parks, or land-management page for that waterfall. When an official source doesn't say, we mark it unknown instead of guessing.
