This area on Jesusita Trail took a beating from high water flow and lack of drainage. A rut was the predominant feature of this trail after the storms causing users to straddle it when climbing or descending the hill. Solution: create drainage to keep water from rutting out the trail further, fill in the rut, and make a path that is more sustainable and long lasting.

| The rut looking uphill |
 |
| Looking downhill, water followed the center line of the trail |

| Joani building the substructure for the water drain |
 |
| Chase and Joani working on the trail's new path |
 |
| Finished product, the rut filled in and the trail much more sustainable |
 |
| The view looking downhill, a massive water drain will prevent rutting for years to come while the direction of the new trail avoids the "fall line" and is much more sustainable. |
