Hacking a trail out of wilderness is not an easy job
 Xavier Slevin smooths the forest floor along the Boulder Creek to Big Flat section of the Coast to Crest Trail. (The Daily Triplicate/Bryant Anderson)
Those hiking trails we take for granted don’t just appear, they are
hacked out of the wilderness, and it’s usually done by hand. Each foot
of packed earth, each carefully banked switchback, takes someone armed
with nothing more powerful than a chain saw, handtools and muscle.
While walking those smooth paths that tame even steep country by
following contours, it’s hard to imagine the work that goes into
trailblazing.
It’s easy to forget that every inch of forest floor is covered in
logs and brush, has thick roots, old stumps and rocks and generally is
far from the nearest amenities.
Easy to forget, unless you’re part of the California Conservation Corps.
