I spent the day out on this trail with a great group of volunteers, building some fantastic, new, trail structures to help improve the hiking experience as well as protecting the trail and surrounding landscape against erosion. Our group was split up into four, smaller pieces, each one working on a section of trail that involved building rock walls, filling the raised trail bench with crushed rock, capping the whole thing with high quality mineral soil, and finally doing some site improvements, including transplanting sword ferns. It was a great day that included safety, fun, and some high quality work from everyone involved!
WTA is an organization that is powered by members, and if you're reading this trip report then I know that you value the resources they provide. So if you value what you get from WTA I hope that you're a member already, and if you're not then I really encourage you to become one! It's fast, it's easy, and the return on your investment is priceless.
The trails we hike on—including this one—were likely built and maintained by WTA volunteers. Stepping beyond being a member, WTA always needs more people to put their boots on the ground with a shovel (or grub hoe, or Pulaski, or loppers) in their hand, to help maintain the places and experiences we love. No experience is necessary and fun is guaranteed!
