Given
the unforgiving terrain, the workers building this new toll road had a tough
job ahead of them. The road was to wind
its way through Cajon Canyon. There are
spots in which huge boulders are scattered about, and the Canyon is very narrow
in places. Plus, the terrain is very
hilly, with steep inclines and loose rocks strewn all over. Indeed, even today’s established off-road
trails in the area pose challenges for drivers, for the same reasons.
