Summary:
An installation of two paths in a deep ravine. At either end of a concrete vehicular and pedestrian bridge, metal, concrete and wood triangular pads taper to concrete steps that traverse the hillside down to a metal catwalk. On the west side there is an intentional break in the walk as it slopes toward a small creek. On the east side, the concrete steps resume near the creek bed, however, there is nothing actually constructed over the creek.
