Where you'll be:
Located southwest of Golden in the foothills, Lookout Mountain rises to 7,377 feet, making it the tallest peak in the area. Its name comes from the Ute Indian Tribe, who once used it as a lookout point. Whether you're into biking, hiking, or a scenic drive near Denver, Lookout Mountain offers something for everyone. The exact meeting location will be shared via email at least 7 days prior to the project.
What you'll do:
Volunteers will help perform critical trail maintenance tasks on this weekday project. Open to volunteers ages 16+, there will be something for everyone. Tasks may include clearing the trail corridor by trimming overgrown vegetation to keep paths open and safe, maintaining drainage by removing debris and improving water flow to prevent erosion, and repairing the tread to smooth and reinforce the trail surface for a safer and more durable path. This is a great opportunity for new volunteers and anyone interested in learning more about trail restoration while enjoying a beautiful outdoor setting.
Why it Matters:
Volunteers will enhance trail safety and sustainability, helping to protect the diverse plant habitat in this popular natural getaway just a short trip from the Denver metro area.
