#7 Borrow Pits
NPS/ncastoro
The depression in the hillside before you is called a borrow pit. When a fill required more material than was available from the cuts, borrow pits, like this one, were dug from adjacent hillsides. Return to stop 6
and follow the trail to stop 8. If you could like, you may continue to walk across the Big Fill before turning back to stop 6.
