Project Summary: Noble Energy interns and new employees came out for this half-day SWAT at Red Rocks. Volunteers moved about 7 tons of material using just buckets to walk it up the trail to where the surface of the Geologic Overlook trail had erroded to the cobble beneath. Volunteers were able to top-dress about 100 feet of trail. A few volunteers peeled off to remove vegetation and weeds from lumber step pads that have become overgrown due to all the moisture this spring. A thunderstorm started to move in right as we were finishing up, which ended up being perfect timing. The cloud cover cooled things off for our final hour or two of work, and everyone was able to depart before the storm.
