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.

If you’re talking hiking/biking trails then many are actually built and maintained by whatever department is in charge of the area like a national park service or forestry agency.
Nothing casual about them though, it takes a lot of back breaking manual labour to move the equipment up and work on the trails for days or weeks at a time. Sometime they’ll have to hike in the equipment, sometimes it might be on pack animal, or if they have the budget – a helicopter.
