Yosemite's Snow Creek Trail

By special request: The easiest way to get between Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows (that doesn't involve a car at least), the Snow Creek trail features a ridiculously steep climb from the Valley floor to the rim.

The model shows the trail as a raised band. This makes it possible to print on a single extruder machine.

I made it from a LIDAR dataset collected to study nitrogen export and made available on http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/. The LIDAR point cloud was gridded to a 0.5m resolution.
