Spring Run and Trail Work Extravaganza
Details
On Saturday May 2 we will hold our annual spring run and trail work event at Heil Valley Ranch with Boulder County Parks and Open Space! This event will have three parts:
- 7:15am - run about 9 miles
- 10am - breakfast at the trailhead
- 11am to 3:30pm - trail work with Boulder County
Join for one, two, or all three parts!
Part 1: Run! We will carpool from North Foothills Trailhead at 7am. Otherwise, meet at the Heil Valley Ranch Wapiti trailhead by 7:15am. The loop is about 9 miles with 1100 feet vertical gain, and should take us about 2.5 hours. If you're joining later, feel free to organize carpools in the comments below.
Part 2: Breakfast! Around 10am we'll do trailhead breakfast. Fill out the breakfast signup sheet with what you're bringing to share.
Part 3: Trail work! At 11am we will join Boulder County Open Space and County Parks for trail work. This year's theme is lop it like it's hot - we'll be trimming up some vegetation to keep the trails tip top, and may even have the opportunity to do some rock work if we're well-behaved. See more details on the County's project page. Note that we will not be working near the trailhead, so plan to stay until 3:30pm.
Here's the packing list for trail work:
- Water bottle and water
- Sturdy shoes/boots
- Backpack (for carrying clothes/water)
- Pants (strongly recommended)
- Sunscreen
- Rain gear if necessary
- Snacks
There's a lot to keep track of, so here's your checklist:
- RSVP here on Meetup.
- Fill out the breakfast signup sheet with your meeting location and what you're bringing for breakfast.
- Register on the County project page to skip signing the waiver at the trailhead.
