If you enjoy hiking or horseback riding in the Eagles Nest or Ptarmigan Peak Wildernesses, please consider giving back just one day of your time to keep the trails in good condition.

For all Trail Projects:
Please RSVP if you plan to come to a trail project. Signing up will help us to better plan trail projects and teams. If you have questions about physical requirements, the project and/or to sign up, call the person or email for each project.
