Summary: Geologic Overlook Trail Maintenance.
Description: Volunteers will perform much-needed maintenance and rehabilitation on the Geologic Overlook Trail. Work will include moving material onto the trail by buckets and wheelbarrows and then grading or crowning the trail, fixing erosion-prone areas where water is not shedding off appropriately, and repairing water bars to help make the trail more sustainable. This is a great opportunity for those volunteers wanting to learn more about trail restoration in a beautiful setting.

Project Summary: 32 volunteers from VFC and S&P Global meet for a hard-working half-day on the Geologic Overlook trail @ Red Rocks Open space. This group, under the Crew Leadership of Glenn and Gordon, cleared 1,600 feet of trail corridor, top dressed 125 feet of the trail (moving over a ton of topdressing material), and maintained 20 drainage dip. The two groups both enjoyed working at such an iconic site. Many had attended concerts at the park but had no idea there was a whole trail system. Ryan was great in providing support and education about the park and the positive impact the volunteers were having.
