The Disappearing Path was created by Newton Hattison and Helen Mayer Harrison, Cunningham Design Inc., Paul Hobson and Marcello Petrocelli in 1987. The installation includes a sand-colored concrete walkway leading from street level to a broad view plateau, teak benches, stanchions supporting a railing made of horizontal steel cables (inspired by a sailboat lifeline), strategically placed boulders, and native, erosion-resistant landscaping.
