The On the Edge Trail is a route around the perimeter of he property. Since the edges are straight lines and none of the other trails contain any, I added some other features to add interest, such as banked turns, water hazzards, a trike only bridge, hills and holes, and tunnels under dense plants.

 

The trail begins with with a pass under the ladder bench, a high piece of rhododendron furniture that looks over the west portion of the garden.

Following the perimeter fence, the trail enters the native garden, past the other ladder bench.

It then skirts a small pond with two islands.

Winter makes the water higher and parts of the trail narrower.

On the route around the pond, a steeply banked turn allows one maintain speed at the right angle turn.

Another banked curve navigated the second property corner,

followed by a fast straight run to a steep mound.

The mound is followed by a hole.

and a tunnel through a plant, with branches above, below, and on both sides.
