99% Invisible Looks In To Interesting Things About Trails

If you love podcasts you probably subscribe to the incredibly interesting podcast 99% Invisible which delves into some of the hidden aspects of design. They have two recent episodes dedicated to trails, which are great to listen to on your next drive.

“A good trail is one that is easy to follow and well maintained. Each trail is designed, constructed and maintained to meet specific standards. These standards relate to the recreational experience the trail is intended to provide. But trails are something many of us take for granted — they are just there, as if naturally formed.

So over the next two episodes, we’re going to work to deconstruct the design and effort of creating and maintaining trails. We’re bringing you two episodes of short stories all about trails.”
