Hiking Trails

Hiking trails provide the opportunity to explore many different types of areas. What’s unique about foot trails is that they can be placed in areas that are usually avoided when trails are planned for multi-use. Foot trails, (with the proper structures in place) can be built sustainable up steep slopes (fall line), scale low angle cliff sides, pass through dense boulder fields, wetlands, and other areas that would be dangerous for your average bike, horse, or ATV rider.
