Summary: Give back on this large Front Range project.
Description: Where You'll Be:
Just west of Denver and Morrison is Corwina Park, 298 acres of protected open space spread throughout Bear Creek Canyon. The popular Panorama Point Trail is an approximately 1.2-mile hike that leads to a gorgeous overlook offering views that span west toward Mount Evans overlooking Kittridge and Evergreen.
What You'll Do:
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 variety of critical trail maintenance tasks. There will be something for everyone from drainage structures to new step construction. Open to volunteers ages 14+, this is a great opportunity to explore natural areas close to Denver and give back to your public lands.
