While I’ve mapped a number of trails most of them are not part of a designated 
larger route so I am not 100% sure, but I think hiking routes are much like 
highway routes: The ways in the relation should be ordered.

Not sure why you’d need a node in there, especially without an explicit role. 
If the route ways are ordered it is obvious where the end points are.

Cheers!
