National Center on Accessiblity
The purpose of this project is to compare the effectiveness of surface treatments for creating a trail accessible to people with mobility impairments. Specifically, this study is examining the longitudinal effects of surface treatments on surface firmness and stability, the costs of applying the treatments, and their relative maintenance demands.

- The Gary E. Cargill Research Trail for Universal Design
Gary's Trail is located at Easter Seals' Rocky Mountain Village near Empire at the eastern end of the Corridor. Gary's Trail has three purposes. The first is to test how grade, cross-slope and surface material determine the level of difficulty for a trail. The second is to test various trail surfaces and see how they react to Colorado's weather. The third is simply to provide a trail for enjoyment by visitors to Rocky Mountain Village.

Designating Parking Areas on Unpaved Surfaces
As the popularity of our national forests grows, greater demands are placed on areas to park, view, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. In the past, parking areas that were not defined with asphalt and/or striping were adequate to handle traffic. However, as more people use recreation areas, the need to direct traffic and provide an orderly arrangement for parking increases.
