Where you'll be:
Explore the scenic Sawatch Mountains with the Salt Creek Trail #1878, offering stunning views of the region's impressive 14ers. This 4.6-mile non-motorized trail serves as a vital connection, linking the Town of Eagle to other trails within the lower reaches of the Sawatch mountains.
What you'll do:
Join us for trail maintenance, involving corridor clearing, redefining tread, backslope cleaning, drainage structure installation, and some rock work.
Enjoy breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, along with dinner on Saturday. Bring your own lunch (BYOL). Free campsites are available on Friday and Saturday nights, and volunteers are encouraged to arrive at base camp before 8 pm on Friday.
Why it's important:
