The students were from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and were very excited to see the famed Colorado park. The project involved a lot of hauling dirt up the trail, and they were troopers. They were able to complete maintenance on 400 feet of trail, and move 1 ton of dirt up the trail. Successes and Challenges: Most of the students had never been to Colorado, so they were easily distracted by the beautiful surroundings!
