No Doubt. The trail is gone now and there is a six foot deep trench down the side where the trail was. Its a whole different hike out so look the funk out for falling rocks. I knocked two boulders loose on the way up a couple days ago but there was no one below me so i don't think i killed anyone. But there are seriously lots of loose rocks ready to go and they will be falling all summer as people go up the new trail. so don't scurry up the hill and if out loosen up a rock yell that shit out so you don't hit me. Tell your friends and peeps that are coming out here.\

I know a few have helped to improve the trail at the bottom walk out... but what about getting together an event where jumpers help improve the climb out?

If everyone just does maintenance each time one the way up it should be good, but if an event is wanted then bring it.

Does the city of twin mind if we put a proper trail in? I had heard that building a trail there was questionable. With all the traffic it sees, a proper trail with switchbacks is in order... I'll come and play in the dirt myself if we have approval...

I vote to keep the impact to that canyon minimal (no pun intended). The boy scouts fixed up the trail out the bottom years ago. Works great if you choose not to hike up the side.

and please no more gigantic ramps that Tom Ahole use to bring out again and again to impress people. Tom's ramps were raised up about 6 inches off the sidewalk and created a hazard and obsticle for pedestrians and bicyclist. Tom doing that specific thing caused citizens of Twin Falls to call and complain to the authorities and the result was that it pissed off the cops and the idaho transportation department. He knew that but he kept doing it and pissing people off.

We always use to keep a simple plank of wood no thicker than 2 inches by the visitors center and they never had a problem with it. The 2 inch plank is really only 1 3/4 inches raised up off the side walk and works perfect and no pedestrians or bicyclist have ever complained about a 1 and 3/4 inch raise off the sidewalk.

So now that Tom has left town, if you desire to use a ramp for exit, can everyone please just use the standard thickness plank we've used since the 90s.

We need to preserve Twin Falls

There are actually plans in the works to develop a set of Canyon Stairs that would start near the new statue and go all the way to the bottom of the canyon. The idea is that tourists would spend more time than the 15 minutes it takes to watch a few jumps before moving on, not to mention that they would build up an appetite and then hit a restaurant. There would be several smaller observation/ rest points on the way down which would also give spectators some cool new visuals. I think that part of the plan would be to improve the long hike into something more akin to the canyon trail above.

This is likely a long way off as I would expect it to cost $500K and the economy sucks. If it were ever to come to fruition it would be pretty freaking awesome.

That would kick much butt...

I was thinking of something as simple as taking 200-300 bucks and buying some wood, ropes, anchors. Something minimalist that isn't ugly but will help the saftey of the climbers and the people below from rocks...
thoughts?

I vote to remove the rope and handcuff Jeb to the tree in it's place.

Listen, I'm not defending Tom in any way here, but maybe, just maybe if you didn't go around slamming someone or another who hasn't said shit about you in every one of your posts, then you wouldn't come off like some sort of cunt and maybe you'd get a little respect.

Oh gee, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings jp.... I was just saying something true about your mentor. I guess on the dorkzone, the truth about Tom would be censored by that all powerful oz behind the curtain.
