Trip Navigation

Volunteers will assist in the maintenance of two of the most popular hiking trails in the BLM system — Fisher Towers (a National Recreation Trail) and Grandstaff Canyon (which is within a Wilderness Study Area). Trail work will include rerouting a section of the Grandstaff trail which has been flooded, as well as reinforcing cribbing on both trails. The trails are located along Utah Highway 128, a State Scenic Byway, and within the Colorado Riverway Recreation Area. Camping will be at a BLM group site located along Highway 128.
