SUMMARY:Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument
DESCRIPTION:This project will help improve three trails (Mt. Trumbull\, Nampaweap\, Mt. Logan) within a 10 mile area. The Mt. Trumbull and Mt. Logan trails are in designated Wilderness Areas. These trails would likely receive more visitors if the trails were in better condition. Volunteers would help improve outstanding recreation opportunities on these two trails by moving small blown down trees from a recent wildfire and brushing back vegetation overgrowth on the trail. The Mt. Logan Overlook trail would be especially spectacular as it leads to a natural amphitheater of red and yellow limestone. This has been inaccessible for years due to poor trail maintenance. The Nampaweap Trail is in fairly good condition\, but would involve some surface re-contouring and cutting back vegetation near panels of Native American rock writing. The tools to be used would be hand tools\, such as a: pulaski\, mcleod\, shovel\, rake\, brush trimmers and clippers\, wheel barrows\, and may include cross-cut saws. The overall goal for the week would be to open these areas to more visitors to enjoy and experience hiking in the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. This project would come on the heels of completing new trailheads at each site.

SUMMARY:Coronado National Forest\, Arizona National Scenic Trail
DESCRIPTION:The Arizona National Scenic trail travels 800 miles across the state of Arizona between the Mexican border and Utah. It highlights the diversity of wild landscapes in Arizona from the iconic Sonoran desert to deep ponderosa forests. This project is taking place on the Coronado National Forest\, in the Canelo Hills of southern Arizona. The Canelo Hills West passage of the trail is the second passage north of the border and crosses low\, grassy hills between the Huachuca and Santa Rita Mountains from Parker Canyon Lake to Canelo Pass. Our project involves constructing new trail to replace legacy trail and forest roads that have been in this area for decades. One of the Arizona Trail Association’s main goals in recent years has been to get the trail off of old roads and two track wherever possible\, and (pending clearances) this area holds a great opportunity to move on that goal. Tasks include clearing vegetation\, benching and digging trail tread\, small rock work projects and removing debris. The hike to and from the worksite will be between 3 and 5 miles each day over rolling hills.

SUMMARY:Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:This trip has been CONFIRMED!  Chase those winter blues away in sunny Florida\, where the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area needs your help now more than ever! \nThe Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area is the BLM’s most easterly unit of the National Conservation Lands. The site\, known for its namesake lighthouse\, was designated by congress in 2008 for the protection and enhancement of various resources – including recreation. The 120-acre site is located in the highly urbanized south Florida Atlantic coastline\, just 1/4 mile from the Atlantic Ocean. The site itself is visited by over 100\,000 people each year to engage in everything from fishing to cultural appreciation. The main objective of this project is to extend the site’s two trails. The South Trail\, created almost two years ago\, has potential for an extra loop. This section will connect the Natural Area to our office and future interpretive site. The North Trail is a paved ADA concrete path leading to a boardwalk that dead-ends at a pavilion in the mangrove lagoon. We would like to have another trail on the north side of the property going through a different habitat: pine scrub. Both projects would involve clearing vegetation for a 64in trail. The total length of the combined new trails would be less than 2 miles.

SUMMARY:Coconino National Forest
DESCRIPTION:This project will be on Passage 29 of the Arizona National Scenic Trail which travels 30+ miles on the forested Colorado Plateau. This isn’t the desert many people imagine when they think of Arizona\, but instead a vast Ponderosa woodland\, rich with wildlife and human history. Unfortunately\, about 18 miles of this passage currently lay on roadway. The USFS Mogollon Rim Ranger District has launched a concerted effort to remove the trail from roadway and construct new trail to National Scenic Trail standards. This project will be creating new single-track through the forest canopy\, across meadows and stretches of chaparral. It may include brushing\, tread work\, small stone work projects and moving debris. The hike to and from the worksite will be between 1 and 4 miles each day. \nThis trip is hosted and crew led by the Arizona Trail Association.

SUMMARY:Appalachian National Scenic Trail
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION FOR THIS TRIP IS CLOSED \nCome maintain the surveyed boundary lines of the corridor of National Park Service lands surrounding the Appalachian Trail!  Maintaining these boundaries helps to preserve the primitive experience that Appalachian Trail hikers seek and helps to protect this land from encroachments such as timber theft. Using survey maps and hand-held compasses\, the crew will bushwhack along the surveyed boundaries of NPS lands while immersed in early fall foliage. Volunteers use hand-held saws and loppers to clear a line of site between survey markers repaint yellow blazes with tree-marking paint and replace US Boundary signs along the way. The crew will become very familiar with both the footpath and the land surrounding a rugged\, beautiful and remote Gulf Hagas portion of the Appalachian Trail in Maine. A day’s work involves hiking on the trail to the corridor near the work site in a small group of 1-3 other volunteers and an ATC staff member or long-term Maine Appalachian Trail Club volunteer\, bushwhacking to the boundary line\, working along it and then bushwhacking and hiking back – we don’t stay in the same place long! Small groups will maintain about 1 mile of boundary line per day and hike 2+ miles to and from the work site each day. This is a great project for folks who want to be moving through the woods all day! \nThis trip is hosted and crew led by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.

SUMMARY:Punchbowl Falls Oregons Hood River Valley
DESCRIPTION:Punchbowl Falls County Park\, located on the West Fork of the Hood River\, near Dee\, was acquired from a private timber company by the Western Rivers Conservancy just a few years ago\, and finally came into public ownership in 2015 when Hood River County received a state grant to transfer the land from the conservancy. Trailkeepers of Oregon (TKO) has since been busy constructing a new loop trail geared toward families and casual hikers looking for an easy stroll with a lot of scenery. Next Fall will be the time to turn to the trail leading down to the confluence of the West Fork and main Hood Rivers. New trail development will be underway – brushing\, duffing and building up trail tread to construct the new connection to this special place. \nMeet the Crew Leader for this trip.

SUMMARY:Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area
DESCRIPTION:The Boulder River drains the geographic heart of Montana’s 944\,000 acre Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area. A rugged dirt road that runs alongside it provides access to some of the wildest country in the entire wilderness\, including the ghost town of Independence\, the famed Lake Plateau\, Silver Lake\, and famous trout fishing. From our basecamp at Lake Kathleen\, five miles up the E. Fork Trail\, our group will do a wide variety of trailwork—improving and widening the existing trail\, getting rid of invasive weeds clearing trees\, and most of all cleaning and installing drainage structures (known as ‘waterbars’.  We will use all manner of trail tools\, such as Pulaskis\, cross-cut saws\, rakes\, and loppers. In general the work can be anywhere from moderate to quite strenuous in nature. We will be working between 8000 and 9000 feet in elevation. Each morning we will hike out from our camp at Lake Kathleen a mile or more to work. There are a couple of significant creek crossings (below the knees) that must be managed each way to work. All tools and personal protective equipment will be provided by the ABWF and the Forest Service. The trip will be led by a Trail Crew leader provided by the ABWF. This person is trained in Wilderness Medicine (First Responder)\, Leave no Trace principles\, and has extensive training and experience in trail building and maintenance. Their job is to facilitate a fun and safe volunteer experience for you. With your help\, they will make sure meals are prepared and that you are well fed\, and will teach you more about the local area\, flora and fauna\, and particularly about the Wilderness and issues facing our public lands. On every project\, we also work alongside one or more Forest Service trail crew leaders who will help supervise the technical aspects of the work at hand. The ABWF & Forest Service will have emergency communication devices available. This is grizzly country\, and while trip leaders will be equipped with canisters of bear repellent\, volunteers may want to bring their own bear spray for protection. \nThis trip is hosted and crew led by the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation.

DESCRIPTION:Help build the Cross Vermont Trail – a new four season multi-use path spanning the width of Vermont. We are “connecting communities\, their schools\, and the natural areas in between.” The crew will build small bridges\, drainage ditches\, stone structures\, and surface parts of the trail with gravel to make it universally accessible. Contribute to the foundation of a sustainable trail that is connecting communities across the entire state! \nThis trip is hosted and crew led by the Cross Vermont Trail Association.
