A switchback is essentially a hairpin turn in the trail. Trails up steep climbs are usually built as a series of switchbacks so that the trail "snakes" up the face of the climb, rather than going straight up it.

Thanks guys, now that you explained it , it makes complete sense.

We used to take my buddies jeep up to split rock. I remember the trails really wide suitable for a truck etc.. and for the most part very flat. Are we talking about the same trails ?

I forget where we would go in, but we always ended up right up by Rt 23 where they store old trains in the giant barn/garage .
