Preliminary Highway 62 Mitigation EA Alternatives


Alternative A - This alternative would locate the new horse trailhead to just east of the visitor center, replace the one-way tour road with a two-lane (two-way) tour road between the visitor center and the Elkhorn Tavern, and would provide a short new one-way route from the tour road on Elkhorn Mountain (below the east overlook) to the two-way portion of the tour road.

Alternative B - In this alternative, the new horse trail area would be in the same area as in Alternative A, the two-lane (two-way) tour road between the visitor center and Elkhorn Tavern would be retained, and a longer new route would extend down the slope of Elkhorn Mountain (below the east overlook) to the new parking area near the Elkhorn Tavern.

Alternative C - In this alternative, the new horse trail area would be located south of Ruddick's field, the park road would extend the full length of the southern boundary, the tour road between the visitor center and the Elkhorn Tavern would remain a one-way route, a new road would be added from the Elkhorn Tavern along historic Huntsville Road to the new park road on the southern boundary, and a longer new route would extend down the slope of Elkhorn Mountain (below the east overlook) to the new parking area near the Elkhorn Tavern.

Alternative D - In this alternative, the new horse trail area would be in the same area as in Alternative C, the park road would extend to the parking area, a new vehicular route would extend to the north to connect with the existing tour road, and a new two-way (two-lane) route would extend from the new connecting point to the new parking area at the Elkhorn Tavern. The new tour road route along the slope of Elkhorn Mountain (below the east overlook) would extend to the new parking area on the south side of the tour road near the Elkhorn Tavern.
