WTA led work parties on
Friday, July 15 and Saturday, July 23, 2022
In collaboration with he Washington Trails Association (WTA), help prepare the lower trail for the upcoming summer hiking season. Both work parties will meet at the pullout on Highway 14 (directions will be provided when you sign up).
July 15th work party (full day): Hike in 2-3 miles on the lower section of the trail. We will brush back vegetation that has been growing unchecked for the last few months, as well as restore a rocky talus section by shifting rocks around to make a safe path. This work party starts at 8:30 am and ends at 3:30 pm.
July 23rd work party (half day): Round trip hike is no more than 2 miles though it is steep on the way back out. The plan is to continue the work from the previous work party. That may include cutting vegetation off the trail and rearranging rocks that tend to slide across the trail to make the walking surface more safe. This work party starts at 9:00 am and ends at 1 pm.
