Summary: Construct 4 miles of a natural surface mountain bike trail
Description: Due to high snow pack and cool spring weather there is still a tremendous amount of snow on Grand Mesa, preventing us from accessing the site to complete our project planning. For this reason, VOC has decided to reschedule the Flowing Park Project. The new project date is August 6-7, 2005.
The trails are not congested, and there are no crowds around
the lakes. Grand Mesa's large open meadows and hundreds of high alpine
lakes provide enough open space for visitors to find their own
outdoor haven. Volunteers will build 4 miles of new trail linking the
existing Indian Point Trail, a 5-mile point-to-point bike trail, to
backcountry roads transforming it into a 12-mile "family loop"
trail. To accommodate increased demand for summer mountain
biking opportunities and family-appropriate trails, VOC is partnering
with the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Association to take
on this important task. When complete, the new Flowing Park
Trail will provide an easy to moderate summer biking route and
breathtaking views of the Delta Valley. Volunteers will be required
to walk 2.5 miles along a flat grade into the work site
