We’re kicking off our busy fall trail work season this Tuesday with some much needed maintenance on Sunny D. We’ll be meeting on BLM 3211D road (marked with a star, directions below) at 4pm and working our way down Sunny D, re-benching tread, clearing drains and pulling some weedy brush lining the trail corridor. We’ll work until 7pm before kicking back, firing up the GT grill and enjoying some much needed libations. As always, wear sturdy shoes and bring warm layers, a rain coat and plenty of water.
Directions – take highway 50 east for 3.75 miles and turn LEFT onto BLM 3211D (there will be a bright yellow TRAILWORK sign on the left side of the highway). The turn is just across from AM Salvage Barnwood, the timber-framing business. After turning off Highway 50, take a left through a green BLM gate (make sure to close the gate behind you), and drive another 1.5 miles up BLM 3211d. 4WD is recommended, although any vehicle with AWD and decent clearance should be fine. We encourage you to carpool or ride to the workday (riding S. Rim all the way east to it’s end will get you to the top of Sunny D, or take Contour to it’s end and ride up Sunny D to the work) to keep traffic and impacts to a minimum.
We’re finalizing our alignment on the newest section of South Rim and hope to begin construction in the coming weeks. Check out our fall schedule below, and we hope to see you out there!
