Prior to the trail, some people referred to this area as a place called Drum. When the winds reached a certain speed, the natural caves would make thumping sounds like the beating of a drum.
Bill Wilson Sr., John Hinchman Sr. and Paul Rudolph worked on this Civilian Conservation Corp project (the Civilian Conservation Corps- CCC- was a public work relief pforgram formed in 1933 under President Roosevelt that served rural areas throughout the U.S. during the Great Depression). Supervising their work were Art Glover, Regional Engineer (left) and Horace Blood, C.C.C. Foreman (right).
The project crew built wooden boxes and used fill from digging to strengthen the trail. Access to the cannery was greatly increased. Eventually a road was built and the tunnel widened enough that a Ford Model A could drive through.
A sawmill brought from Excursion Inlet is in the background and the nearby creek was called Sawmill Creek.
