Having walked this and by now many other roadways in this type of desert terrain I’m… at a loss. Almost every other graded pathway is much wider, no matter the age. That includes tracks out by Burned Wagons Point that are extremely old but there’s still twin depressions from vehicle travel within the graded track. Not to mention the end loops and weird endings where it’s be impossible to turn a car around without damaging the edges or banks of the grader. Which seem perfectly intact other than natural washouts. For that matter I’m not aware of a grader that could cut the tight end loops of these runs.
I can only guess it was being designed as a tourist thing that was never completed. Odd because it’s on the backside of the hill and therefore blocking any kind of view of the valley that someone could have been going for.
The first time I saw it I assumed it had some mining/prospecting purpose. But there absolutely no signs of that here either. So I’m flummoxed.
Unless it was really a Zamboni. Those things can really turn on a dime…
