The US Forest Service is seeking help to keep this beautiful trail open and passable for multi-use. Hiking and biking are severely hindered in some areas of the trail by its current condition. Work will include trail clearing, removing fallen trees, brushing and some tread repair to areas damaged by erosion. Backcountry trail maintenance requires your 10 Essentials, water, lunch, work boots (hiking boots are great) and work gloves (leather or other durable material).
