Work Day – January 1/26/19

We hope you all had a great holiday season and are ready for the new year!  Our first work day will be January 26th on the Grandview Trail.

What:  We will be tearing out the steps and replacing them with a walk-through gate.  We will also be water-sealing and touching up the shelter as well as general trail maintenance.  If we have enough time and volunteers, we may also paint and/or repair some of the old wooden culverts.

When: Saturday, January 26, 2019 from 9:00 AM to Noon.

Where:  Meet at the Lower Grandview Trailhead on Fresnal Canyon Road.

Work Day – November 3

What: The first shelter on the Switchback Trail from Bailey Canyon is leaning and is 6″ out of plumb, with no bracing to resist further leaning. We are planning to bring it back to plumb and add some 2×6 bracing. We will also be doing some culvert repair just down from the shelter and try to hang new flags on the Harkey Pedestrian Bridge. Bring work gloves and water.

When: Saturday, November 3, 2018 from 9:00 AM to noon.

Where:  Switchback Trail (T-5004) Trailhead in Bailey Canyon, where the canyon intersects Hwy 82, about 2 miles downhill from Cloudcroft’s West edge.
