Nothing 'Simple' About Rock Work, Trail Building

Nine feet. It may not sound like a significant distance, until you're trying to build a rock wall nine feet tall. For months on end, our #CCCInlandEmpire Corpsmembers have been on their hands and knees—literally—swinging single jacks, rolling rocks, and drilling holes. It's incredibly hard work with a noble purpose: make it easier for pedestrians to access El Capitán State Beach. The nine-foot tall rock wall trail will keep bikers, hikers, strollers, and wheelchairs off the main access road and instead on an Americans with Disability Act-compliant pathway. Dirt, dust, sweat, and tears matter not for this crew, it's all about the finished project. #CaliforniaConservationCorps #CCCtrails
