Often we need to remove large boulders from a new trail. Most of the time those boulders are simply set to the side of the trail. On some occasions conditions require that the boulder will roll down hill quite some distance. Seeing a large boulder crash through the forest is a spectacle we all enjoy. However, when there is an active trail in the "roll zone" we need to take extra safety precautions to ensure that nobody is injured. The video below was taken at a site that required us to spend several minutes clearing the trail about 50 yards downhill and posting guards to keep anyone from entering the roll zone. Was our time and effort spent to keep the area safe? You be the judge?
