How were trails on the side of mountains made?

553 viewsOther

You know those roads where if you turn to hard/late, then you’ll end up dropping 2000 ft off a cliff? Yeah my brain cannot comprehend how they were made. I know most trails are made by people/horses constantly walking over it. But the fact that these trails are almost perfectly made for transportation, and are just casually on the side of a mountain confuses me.

People went up there with tools and/or heavy equipment to make the trail perfect for transportation. The mining industry does this ALL the time to get drill rigs up on top of a mountain. Send an excavator and a dozer up there and they’ll have you a road in a few days.
