Newly built trail.  After the leaves fall next autumn this will look more natural.

The US Forest Service specs for this section of trail are: full bench-cut, 30" tread, 10% maximum grade.

The steep hillside required a lot of digging-- the backslope is almost to Carl's waist.

This portion was all hand cut.  Crew 4 did a great job with this.

A lot of dirt was moved this weekend.

Mike, Bela, Scottie and others work on a switchback.

Rocks provide an obstacle to prevent short-cutting.

Scottie tamps down dirt above a small rock retaining wall.

The switchback is almost complete.

That's the end of our galleries!  Click here to go to main photo page.
