Part 4: Cedar Ladders, Walkways and Trail

"g" took 501 digital pictures. Most included a cedar ladder, platform, or walkway. No kidding. There must be 200+ cedar walkways of some type along the 48 mile trail! Canadian Parks did an amazing job keeping 90% of them in excellent condition. Fortunately, there was not a drop of rain in their six days of hiking. This meant much relief from the worry of slippery foot and hand holds. Oh... by the way. Each cedar pathway was a form of art. They were beautiful to look at and incredible to climb or walk upon.

How did they string all of these ladders together?

  Who puts these things here?   Ladders that go somewhere up.
