Summary: A Fort Collins-area favorite, restore this heavily used and beloved trail.
Description: ABOUT THE STEWARDSHIP SITE
The 1.7 mile Arthur's Rock Trail winds through forested mountainsides and open meadows to the summit of Arthur's Rock. Upon reaching the summit, hikers are rewarded with breathtaking views of Horsetooth Reservoir and the Front Range from an elevation of 6,780 feet. Unfortunately, the trail's popularity comes with a price; after years of heavy use, the trail is experiencing severe drainage issues that are currently effecting the landscape adjacent to the trail.
ABOUT THE VOLUNTEER WORK
Volunteers will repair the heavily impacted trail by closing and restoring shortcuts and "social" trails, supporting eroding outslopes by constructing rock walls, repairing and/or installing waterbars, and facilitating drainage. Heavy-moderate rock work will be involved.
