Looking Glass Trail Assessment Log 1

Looking Glass Trail Assessment Log

Inspection Date : 11-25-09 Length: 3.1 Trail Class: 3 Designed Use: Hiker/Pedestrian Managed Use: Hiker/Pedestrian Difficulty Level: More Average Width: 18-36” Surface: Soil, Bedrock Wilderness Trail: No

Station Comment Picture or Additional Comments

All side sloped sections of trail have root and compaction problems. Sluff and burm are to be removed so out slope can be re-established and tread can be returned up slope to original position. Extreme cases are noted in log.

All short cut trails are to be closed and in some cases erosion problems are to be addressed, which are also noted in log.
