Highway Frontage Trail

Highway Frontage Trail

The Highway Frontage Trail is to replace several existing volunteer trails that parallel Highway 78. The route follows established routes on previously disturbed soils that run parallel to the highway but outside the shoulder area and has a total length of 11.2 miles (59,136 ft.). The depth of the soil to be moved will be 12" or less throughout the corridor and to a width not to exceed 6'. No native vegetation will be removed or harmed furing the construction process. Equipment will be used to re-contour the berms of the volunteer trails to the center of the trail tread to reestablish a crowned surface and provide seamless transitions between several older trails. The tread matrix varies greatly as well, running between decomposed granitic soils and loose silt sand to rocky outcroppings. The trail will head east from Ranger Station Road and will end at Pole Line Road and it is anticipated that the trail in its entirety will be broken down into three work phases. Phase One will be from the Ranger Station trailhead to Wolfe Well Road (3.2miles); Phase Two will be from Wolfe Well Road to County Line (2.0 miles); Phase Three will be from County Line to Cahuilla Trail (2.7 miles); Phase Four will be from Cahuilla Trail to Pole Line Road (3.3 miles).
