I love imagining a mad trail scientist designing this section of the trail for people heading outwards from the city. "First I'll have a little uphill to slow 'em down, then a lip of pavement that the people have to have enough momentum to get over. Then, BOOM, cobblestones! Then some giant rocks that they have to find a path between while other people come barreling through downhill in the opposite direction. Bwa ha ha!"
