Trail Work Tuesday – September 19

Next weeks trail work is brought to you by our friends at the Crested Butte Land Trust, working to protect and steward open lands in Gunnison County for over 30 years. We hope you can join us this coming Tuesday, 9/19, from 3-7pm to continue the momentum on this monstrous build (the purple trail in the map below). We’ll be meeting on BLM road 3211D (see directions below) starting at 3pm. If you arrive later, we’ll have a well flagged route from the parking lot up to South Rim and to the start of the trail work. Sign the waiver, grab a Rogue hoe, pick, rake or shovel and follow the flags until you find us. We’ll work until 7pm before kicking back, firing up the 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 TRAIL WORK 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 your first left through a green BLM gate (make sure to close the gate behind you), and drive another 2 miles up BLM 3211d. 4WD is highly recommended. We encourage you to carpool or ride to the workday to keep traffic and impacts to a minimum, as parking is limited. If you ride, take South Rim trail almost to the intersection with Sunny D and look for the pile of tools and flags heading uphill.
