Trail Work Tuesday - September 26

Next weeks trail work is brought to you by the fine folks at Pinnacle Orthopedics, proudly supporting Gunnison area trails since 2018. We hope you can join us this Tuesday, 9/26, from 3-7pm as we continue the momentum on South Rim – we’ve built over .5 miles of text book bench-cut trail so far! 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 and follow the flags until you find us – tools are cached at the trail work site. We’ll work until 6:30pm 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.

With days getting shorter, this is the last Trail Tuesday of the season, so do join! We’ll have our final workday on Saturday, October 7th in celebration of National Public Lands Day to wrap up the season.

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 pink flagging heading uphill.
