Summary: Help celebrate National Trails Day by helping out with the construction of the Palisade Rim Trail. This new trail system, which was officially opened in April 2012 currently consists of a three mile loop trail that takes hikers, horseback riders and mountain bikers to the top of the Palisade Rim, offering sweeping views of Palisade and the east end of the Grand Valley. An eight-mile trail system is eventually planned for the area.
Description:
It's the 20th anniversary of our country's biggest trail celebration. We have a lot to celebrate here on the Colorado Plateau! The official celebration day is June 2, 2012. COPMOBA, the BLM, and our sponsor REI will be ready to help you help us build more trail on the Palisade Rim.
Construction will be taking place in several locations on the Palilsade Rim Trail. Some hiking may be required. Bring water, snacks, lunch, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and work gloves. Wear boots or sturdy shoes!
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged so that we will be able to keep you informed of changes to start time or other project details. It will also help to facilitate the registration process and we'll be sure to have enough food, drink, and tools!
A barbecue and social time will follow the work day. You may need insect repellant since we'll be hanging out by the river.
Information about parking and any other last minute details will be sent out one week prior to the project.
