Trail touch up complete in Wilderness Preserve
David Campbell rides the switchbacks below Sunset Bench.
The city contractor has finished grading and taming the trails in the Hillside Wilderness Preserve. The switchbacks below Sunset Bench in particular have been well worked. Many of the steps at the hairpin corners have been removed and the corners smoothed and widened. Because of the grading the ground is still quite soft, especially near the edges.
