About the event

Adopt-A-Trail Work Day with Spider: Deer Creek trail
Come join Spider for a volunteer trail maintenance day on the Deer Creek trail!

☀️ Please email Y2FyZWwgfCBlbmNoYW50ZWRjaXJjbGV0cmFpbHMgISBvcmc= if you plan on attending ☀️

Details:

☀️ When: Sunday, October 5th at 9 AM

☀️ Where: Meet at the Columbine Canyon trailhead at the southern end of the Columbine Campground

☀️ What to Expect: A day filled with fun and trail maintenance! Work will consist of using pick mattocks, McLeods, and shovels to bench (widen) narrow, erosive sections of the trail.

The hike into the worksite is about 2.1 miles and is a gentle but steady uphill climb. Expect to hike 5-6 miles roundtrip. We'll be taking the Columbine Canyon trail (8,000') for 1.5 miles before turning on to the Deer Creek trail (~8,300') and continuing on the Deer Creek trail for 0.6 miles until we reach the beginning of the work site (~8,750').

☀️ What to Bring: Please wear long pants, sturdy hiking shoes/work boots, work gloves, and eye protection (sunglasses okay).

Bring a day pack with plenty of food and water, sunscreen, layers, and rain gear. *We will be on the trail all day and not returning to the cars for lunch*

ECTA will provide the hard hats and tools.

We hope to see you there!
