Horsethief Park reroute Day 1, 18 June 2022Trail Work / Day HikeAges 16+; under 18 requires parent/guardian to accompanyDay HikeBring your Lunch
This project will reroute a part of the trail into Horsethief Park, where an encroachment onto private property has recently been discovered. This project is in partnership with Friends of the Peak. We are going to try to do the work in one day but are putting it on the calendar for both Saturday and Sunday if needed. This project is a high priority for preventing the closure of access to this area and avoiding the creation of unsustainable work-around routes.
The project area is about a half mile up the trail. Volunteers must bring work clothes & gloves, water, snacks, lunch, sunscreen, and hat. This project is open to the public. If you are a CMC member, it is recommended that you log on to register; non-CMC members will have to sign the liability waiver at https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5b5a2ea447133/web/. Please email me a copy of the waiver receipt.
Once the project is full, we will not be able to accommodate any additional volunteers. This is for safety's sake - to retain a safe crew leader to volunteer ratio - and due to the number of tools available. Please cancel if needed to make room for others, and join the wait list if the trip is full.
Please also sign up for the Sunday workday -- which we hope will not be needed! -- at https://cmc.org/Calendar/EventDetails.aspx?ID=54722
We are not providing any meals or camping arrangements, but there are many beautiful pack sites less than a half mile further up the trail in Horsethief Park, as well as car camping at the Crags Campground or in Mueller State Park.
