Designing Stairs to
Connect Trails at Tyson Lagoon

My project was to create a
trail that would connect two areas of Tule Ponds that are normally
separated by flooding during the raining season. To do this, we had
to clear the surrounding brush, transport dirt to elevate the trail
approximately 2-3 feet, and then finally install 13 steps into the
two sloping embankments to create a safe trail. The trail as a whole
is approximately 50 feet long.
