Trail Mix

Behind the Scenery with Kurt Kohlstedt

Across the nation, tens of thousands of miles of trails are managed by the state and federal governments and including everything from local trails to high profile hikes like the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. They’re all engineered, built and heavily designed to maintain a sort of naturalistic illusion to create a “wilderness experience” for visitors. And that takes a lot of thoughtful design work.
