Details

Ready to make a difference while hitting the trails? Join us for a day of giving back to the stunning landscapes we love to explore! No experience necessary.

  • Hands-on trail maintenance and improvement tasks.
  • Fun and camaraderie with fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
  • Make a lasting impact on our local hiking havens.
  • Learn about what goes into maintaining the trails we love.

What to Wear:

  • Long pants and long sleeve shirt required. Plan to get dirty.
  • Boots preferred but not required unless doing Sawyer work (USFS requires boots that provide ankle support and have nonskid soles).

What to Bring:

  • Sturdy work gloves, garden gloves or full fingered MTB gloves.
  • Safety glasses/sunglasses (shaded or clear) depending on the weather.
  • A bandana or liner for wearing under provided hard hats.
  • Sun protection (sunscreen, buff or bandana for under hard hat)
  • Car camping gear and food (if coming up early). For the trailwork bring a small backpack to hold water, snacks/lunch and layers.

Provided:

  • Hard hats
  • Trail tools

Things to Know:

  • Plan to hike up to 3 miles round trip from trailhead to worksite.
  • Dogs are welcome but must be approved by organizers and are recommended to be on leash for safety.

Plan:
Friday night

  • Car camping option near Colorado Trail segment 3/4 trailhead, exact location will be relayed closer to the date once worksite is determined.
  • No facilities at camping location so plan accordingly.

Saturday

  • All participates must be at campsite by 8:00AM.
  • Leave camp at 8:15 AM (camp breakdown can occur in the afternoon).
  • At the trailhead we will review the JHA/CTF/USFS waivers and have a tool/safety talk.
  • Work on section of Colorado Trail next to or in Lost Creek Wilderness until the afternoon (back to the parking lot by 4PM).
  • Optional car camp Saturday night at same camping location.

Everyone will need to fill out the waiver (including +1's) to participate.
