Summary: Work with volunteers from Friends of Mount Evans and Lost Creek Wildernesses to restore a heavily used trail in the southern part of the Mount Evans Wilderness.
Description: Work with volunteers from Friends of Mount Evans and Lost Creek Wildernesses to restore a heavily used trail in the southern part of the Mount Evans Wilderness. Of Colorado's 55 Fourteeners, Mount Evans (14,264') is the most accessible and also one of the highest. It dominates the western skyline from nearly everywhere in Denver. On a good day, you can reach Summit Lake -- a 9,000' elevation gain and a world away -- in under an hour from downtown. Tanglewood Trail is well used by many eager to enjoy a lakeside picnic, an afternoon fishing jaunt or an overnight alpine camping trip. Its increasing popularity requires ongoing maintenance and VOC has committed to adopting this trail each summer. Be a part of an ongoing small group of dedicated volunteers and sign up for one or all four 2011 dates. As a designated national wilderness area, strict group size limits allow VOC to register only 12 volunteers for each date.
There is no fee for this project. Volunteers must supply their own lunch.
