7/20 West Rjdge Trail: Stopping a Waterbar Turning into a Herd Path
On Mount Cardigan’s West Ridge Trail, 0.3 miles uphill, hikers thought a drainage ditch was a fine path. After 2 hours with a shovel and 5' loop of 1" webbing, barricading was installed and the drainage ditch was restored. It may get their attention… 🤨.
