Crews hauled boulders with pulleys, pack animals, and helicopters, while one worker summited 200 times during construction. The new trail features switchbacks, rock-and-timber retaining walls, and cedar planks to combat erosion — plus it’s built to avoid flooding zones. Beyond the trail, biologists are studying revegetation in alpine conditions, turning this project into a living lab. CFI’s success is already inspiring future builds on Mount Sherman and efforts to secure land around the Decalibron loop — where private mining claims still linger.
