Erosion of the precipitous slopes along West Mountain was often a problem during heavy rains. Stone retaining walls were installed on the south-facing slope in 1914 in an effort to put an end to these slumping issues. Above, unidentified park maintenance workers stand proudly with their completed stair-step retaining walls. The photograph below is of the same location along the road in 1925. The stone walls are still standing and have become part of the overall terrain of the hillside. Automobiles, horses, and pedestrians often shared the road to partake of the natural wonders of the park.
