Summary: Volunteers will work on critical trail maintenance needs in the inner canyon.
Description: About the Location: Hidden in the rolling prairie on Highway 83 near Franktown, Colorado, is Castlewood Canyon State Park. An easy drive from both Denver and Colorado Springs, this park offers unique geological formations, rich Colorado history, four different ecosystems and several hiking trails. The Creek Bottom Trail is a 2-mile route that follows Cherry Creek along the Canyon bottom, taking hikers along a shaded path and past a cascading waterfall.
About the Volunteer Experience: Join us for the day as you work to re-route a section of the multi-use Lake Gulch Trail to make it more sustainable; tasks will be moderate to difficult in nature, including trail construction and potential closing and restoring the old trail.
About the Overall Impact: The reroute that volunteers will construct is essential in ensuring the Lake Gulch Trail's longevity and usability. Castlewood Canyon State Park is enjoyed by many Front Range nature lovers and hikers, and volunteers' efforts to keep this trail in optimal condition will be visible and appreciated for years to come!
