This project will repair a total of 15,650 Linear feet of eroded trail tread, replace two substantial trail bridges, remove heavy vegetation on trail corridor, remove trail obstructions, and replace rotten water bars and trail edging. The work will be performed with a seasonal trail crew. The trail treadway and edging is lower than the surrounding area around the trail, the bridges decking and handrails are rotten in places and are a health/safety concern. 50 existing water bars are rotted and in dire need of replacement. This trail repair will provide better visitor experience and prevent further erosion which is currently causing damage to park natural resources. The trail tread is slippery and rocky with many obstacles that subject hikers to falls, sprains etc. Obstructions are causing hikers to use routes that are outside the trail corridor which is creating resource damage. Water bars are needed to prevent further erosion.
