<div dir="ltr">For information on the UGB walkways, see the Geyser Gazer pages on Facebook. M.A. Bellingham and I both made some comments there. The first formal walkways that I know of at UGB were the asphalt ones, built in (as I recall) 1934. Rocco Paperiello has posted some photos of this construction from the park's black scrapbooks on his Facebook page. <div>
<br></div><div>The park's actual move to wooden boardwalks (what the 1946 Report of the Superintendent called "duckwalks") began that year, and continued being built during the period 1946-1950 in various places.<div>
