Neither Don nor I could even begin to imagine the hard work and effort that it must have taken to reinforce some areas of the park's hiking trails. This trail coming out of the Old Man's cave area and following along on the trial to the Lower Falls area shows some of the effort that has went into the restoration process after some of severe floods in the 1990's occured. Cemented areas such as this one replace old wooden timbers that were washed out and used in some areas as a border along the trails. I really loved the use of natural materials that are being used in the restorative efforts and how they blend themselves right into nature as if they themselves have been a part of this amazing wonder of nature.
