This event is not being hosted by the Austin Mountaineers. I'm posting for informational purposes and to get the word out for the Trail Tamers as they make repairs on our favorite trial.

Join the Trail Tamers for a weekday session to help maintain one of Central Texas’s most challenging trail networks.

Volunteers will assist with repairing water bars, cleaning drains, and clearing corridors along the Panther Hollow, Little Fern, and Canyon Trail segments in northwest Austin’s River Place neighborhood—a 6-mile out-and-back route known for its 2,763 wooden steps and varied terrain.
Projects are half-day and involve trail maintenance tasks such as clearing corridors, repairing or replacing water bars, and installing or repairing drains. Volunteers should bring water, gloves, eye protection, and sturdy work boots, and be prepared to carry tools over rugged terrain.

About the Trails: Located in northwest Austin’s River Place neighborhood, this trail system features the Panther Hollow, Little Fern, and Canyon Trail segments. Together, they form a roughly 6-mile out-and-back route renowned for its intense workout—especially the 2,763 wooden steps that traverse hilly terrain. Hikers enjoy shaded paths winding through forests, creeks, and occasional waterfalls.

If you need a ride to the project, please send a message to president@trailtamers.org.

Crew leader: Kevin Deiters.
