Bar end shifters are easy to get used to assuming you can take one had off the bars for a few seconds. I commute, tour and do some day rides on my LHT. No issues with taking it on unpaved roads, much less light trails. In fact, I did a metric century in MA on it where about 70% of the route was unpaved and rough in many places.
I'm not sure our definitions of "light trail" are congruent...I'm sure I'm ignorant of the correct term. To me, your pics are of an unpaved road.
