Summary:
Description: The perfect project for every skill set, this small volunteer project is an important part of an ambitious effort! Join us as VOC helps to complete the Continental Divide (CDT) and Colorado Trails (CT). The Half Moon Creek Trail (also known as North Elbert Trail) is part of a 60-mile relocation of both trails between Mt. Elbert and Monarch Pass.
The existing trail is annually utilized by over 7000 people, including many through-hikers on the CT and CDT, as well as climbers accessing the north summit route to of Mt. Elbert. As a result of heavy use and poor routing, the trail is heavily eroded, rutted and braided. The Half Moon Creek will include high altitude trail construction; switchback construction (rock hounds take note); trail reclamation and re-vegetation.
