What You'll Do: Celebrate National Public Lands Day with up to 100 volunteers from across the Front Range! After enjoying breakfast and packing a lunch provided by our volunteer Crew Chefs, you'll split into crews of 8-10 people and hike about 45 minutes to the project site. From there, you'll spend the day working on a trail reroute. The new trail will improve the sustainability of this popular trail within striking distance of Denver. Open to volunteers ages 16+, this is a great opportunity to explore natural areas close to Denver and give back to your public lands.
