How were trails on the side of mountains made?

549 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.

A combination of naturaly existing paths and people carving out part of the mountain to make a wider path. The reasons why they are just “there” is that if they werent there and werent good for transportation you wouldnt know about them, as in there are plenty of small “paths” that arent wide enough for transportation but you wont know about them because well you cant use them for transportation so there is no reason to know about them.
