Where You'll Be:
Red Rocks Park, known for its remarkable landscape of red sandstone outcroppings, is a true Colorado landmark. It's a world-famous concert venue, and home to awe-inspiring hiking and biking trails perfect for exploring the geology, forests, wildflowers and wildlife, with views of Denver and beyond. The park's Trading Post Trail, where this project takes place, is a 1.5-mile loop that can be accessed via an easy hike.
What You'll Do:
Volunteers will perform much-needed maintenance and rehabilitation on a section of the Trading Post Trail at Red Rocks Park. This is a great opportunity for new volunteers and those wanting to learn more about trail restoration in a beautiful setting.
Why It's Important:
Due to the popularity of Red Rocks, hiking traffic is heavy throughout the year. This means damage to the park's trails can happen fast and become widespread. Volunteers will assist the park by bringing the Trading Post Trail to safe, sustainable conditions so it can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
