The start of the new trail. The brush has been cut back, but it's narrow and steep here
|
|
|
This section had some work done on it a few months ago. The trail has already been cut out of the slope for about 100'
|
|
|
Most of the new trail looks like this...
|
|
|
... or worse ...
|
|
|
... or with a steep cross-slope
|
|
|
It's easy to see where the brush has been cut down along the line of the new trail
