Maple Canyon Eagle Scout project

This bridge was built 1/4 mi. up Maple Canyon and was the joint effort of our crew and an Eagle Scout. It turned out beautifully and I hope it will last for years. Thanks to Kyle for coming in on a day off to assist and thanks to all those who participated in this project.
Another element of the Eagle project was the installation of 4 benches along the trail. Each bench is spaced by 1/4 mile allowing users to gauge their distance, at least for the first mile. Luckily 3 of the bridges happened to be at stream crossings which provide a scenic place to catch a breath.
The final touch of the Eagle project was the replacement of this sign for Spanish Fork Peak.

We returned later to cut some texture into the bridge as a safety precaution.
